What does the Zearalenone test measure?

Q: Why is Zearalenone measured?

Urinary zearalenone reflects Fusarium-derived exposure, frequently dietary in origin. Because of its oestrogenic activity, it is of interest where hormone-related symptoms accompany an exposure history, though detection alone does not establish a causal clinical effect.

Zearalenone (ZEA) is a clinical biomarker used in environmental-mould assessment. Zearalenone is a resorcylic acid lactone mycotoxin produced by Fusarium species that contaminate maize, wheat, and other cereals. It is measured in 2 laboratory tests on BiomarkersLabs.com.

What is Zearalenone?

Zearalenone is a resorcylic acid lactone mycotoxin produced by Fusarium species that contaminate maize, wheat, and other cereals. It has oestrogenic activity, binding to oestrogen receptors and disrupting reproductive and endocrine function in livestock and potentially humans.
