Abstract
Numerous reports of epizootics due to zearalanone, and the subsequent experimental work upon it have implicated this oestrogenic mycotoxin as an important pathologic agent for the uterus and vagina. The finding of zearalanone in fermented products in an area in Southern Africa where human cervical cancer is prevalent may be related to this disease.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
