| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We investigated the effects of exposure to zearalenone levels on the anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) endocrine levels of cattle. Urinary zearalenone and its metabolites concentrations were measured by chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS), and serum AMH concentrations were determined. The results indicate that zearalenone intake from dietary feed, even when below the threshold zearalenone contamination level permitted in Japan, may affect the ovarian antral follicle populations of postpartum cows. Additionally, we determine the levels of the fungal toxin sterigmatocystin (STC) in the urine of cattle using LC/MS/MS. The results indicate that STC is extensively conjugated in the liver, presumably to glucuronic acid, and confirmed co-existing contamination of both ZEN and STC in the dietary feeds of cattle. Overall, mycotoxins in urine samples are useful biological markers for monitoring the systemic exposure of cattle to multiple mycotoxins.
