Raphanus sativus (radish) extract protects against Zearalenone induced reproductive toxicity, oxidative stress and mutagenic alterations There is unequivocal evidence of reproductive toxicity of Zearalenone (ZEN) in male mice although the mechanism of action is unknown. The results indicated that ZEN-induced toxicological effects in accordance to those reported in the literature: decreasing in the sperm number, testosterone level and antioxidant enzyme status. The RAPD-PCR analysis revealed an alteration in the DNA bands patterns between control and ZEN-treated mice. The extract of raphanus sativus, rich in many antioxidant compounds, was safe and succeeded in counteracting the oxidative stress and protect against the toxicity resulting from ZEN. [ link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] Radish is an antidote not only for Zearalenone but also for Bisphenol A. Bisphenol A seems to be glycosylated, transformed to polar compounds, and bound as residue by five forage grasses, fescue, couch grass, perennial ryegrass, Siberian wheatgrass, and white clover, and three horticultural species, cucumber, marrow plant, and radish. Septic and axenic testing established that microbial degradation is possible for fescue and radish. [ link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
