- Abstract
The article examines the biological activity of radish extract and evaluates the protective role of radish extract against the toxicity of zearalenone (zen), a non-steroidal estrogenic mycotoxin present in corn and food mixture for farm animals, in female Balb/c mice. It found that radish extract improved the antioxidant status and had no significant effects on hematological and biochemical parameters tested on histology of the liver and kidney. It suggested that radish extract is safe and can overcome or significantly diminish the zen effects.
