Zearalenone (ZEA). an estrogenic mycotoxin produced by several Fusarium species, is converted into a mole active metabolite, alpha-zearalenol (alpha-ZOL), and a less active metabolite. beta-zearalenol (beta-ZOL), by liver subcellular fractions, hut evidence of this reaction in other tissues is hunted In order to clarify the role of various tissues in ZEA metabolism in ruminant, we investigated the in vino metabolic conversion of ZEA by various tissues of adult male and female goats The results indicate that in the liver. alpha-ZOL was a major metabolite in cytosolic fractions. whereas beta-ZOL was a predommant metabolite in microsome fractions Such a feature of ZEA metabolism was confirmed by the K-m and V-max values from an enzyme kinetics experiment Post-mitochondrial fractions of the liver convened ZEA predominantly to alpha-ZOL. indicating that the goat live, may function as an activation organ rather than as an inactivation organ. for ZEA metabolism in goats In most other tissues including lumen tissue. the activity converting ZEA to alpha-ZOL was higher than that to beta-ZOL The amount of alpha-ZOL formed by gastrointestinal tissues was 1/8-1/3 of that by the liver tissue m terms of the amount per me protein, but the contribution of all gastrointestinal tissues to production alpha-ZOL was estimated to be comparable 10 that of the liver because of the large mass of gastrointestinal tissues in ruminants Overall the results show the importance or not only the liver tissue, but also other tissues, especially gastrointestinal ones, ID the formation of a potent estrogenic metabolite, alpha-ZOL
