Differentiating Zeranol Implant Abuse and <i>Fusarium</i> spp. Toxin-Contaminated Corn Intake by Detection and Quantification of Resorcylic Acid Lactones in Bovine Urine

Differentiating Zeranol Implant Abuse and <i>Fusarium</i> spp. Toxin-Contaminated Corn Intake by Detection and Quantification of Resorcylic Acid Lactones in Bovine Urine

Resorcylic acid lactones (RALs) are fungal metabolites with known biological activity. Zeranol, a synthetic RAL, has been used as an estrogenic growth promoter in cattle; however, its use is prohibited in several countries. Zearalenone, a mycotoxin produced by <i>Fusarium</i> spp., is co...
