  13. [ASAP] Zearalenone Induces Estrogen-Receptor-Independent Neutrophil Extracellular Trap Release in Vitro

    • Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry

    • Zearalenone (ZEA) is a non-steroidal estrogenic mycotoxin synthesized in Fusarium species, mainly Fusarium graminearum and Fusarium culmorum, and it has strong estrogenic activity and causes genotoxic effects, reproductive disorders, and immunosuppressive effects. Neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) has been studied for many years. Initially, NET was considered a form of the innate response that combats invading microorganisms.
