“…DON metabolism is species‐dependent, and significant differences have been observed among animals (rat, fish, cattle, and swine) and humans (Maul et al., ; Schwartz‐Zimmermann et al., ) (Table ). Deoxynivalenol‐15‐glucuronide (DON‐15‐glucuronide) was the predominant DON metabolite after DON‐incubation in human liver microsomes, while deoxynivalenol‐3‐glucuronide (DON‐3‐glucuronide) was the main metabolite for all other studied animals (fish, rat, cattle, and swine) (Maul et al., ; Schwartz‐Zimmermann et al., ). The second prevailing glucuronide was observed in lower levels (<10% compared to the first prevailing glucuronide) for all species and was species‐dependent: DON‐15‐glucuronide in pigs (Maul et al., ), DON‐3‐glucuronide in humans (Maul et al., ; Schwartz‐Zimmermann et al., ), iso‐deoxynivalenol‐3‐glucuronide (iso‐DON‐3‐glucuronide) in fish and bovine (Maul et al., ), and deoxynivalenol‐8,15‐hemiketal‐8‐glucuronide (DON‐8,15‐hemiketal‐8‐glucuronide) in rodents (Schwartz‐Zimmermann et al., ; Uhlig, Ivanova, and Fæste, ).…”
