Abstract:Zearalenone (ZEA), also known as F-2 toxin, is a mycotoxin. Despite numerous reports of ZEA impairing livestock production performance and fertility, little information is available, including information about the mechanism underlying damage to cell metal ion transport.

However, the accumulation of copper in cells can have toxic effects. Here, we intended to determine … Show more
