Metabolic pathway of zearalenone (ZEA): (A) α- zearalenol (B) (α-ZEA) and β- zearalenol (β-ZEA) by hydroxylation; (C) Zearalenone-glucuronide, (D) α-zearalenol-glucuronide and (E) β-zearalenol-glucuronide by glucuronidation; (F) Zearalenone-14-glucoside (ZEA14Glc), (G) Zearalenone-16-glucoside (ZEA16Glc), (H) α- zearalenol-14-glycoside and (I) β-zearalenol-14-glucoside by glycosidation; and (J) Zearalenone-14-sulfate by sulfation. UGTs: Uridine 5′-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferases [170].
