Protective effects and mechanisms of deer blood phospholipids (DBP) on zearalenone-induced oxidative damage in swine Sertoli cells.
BACKGROUND: The swine Sertoli cells (SCs) are more vulnerable to the environmental insults than other species. We observed that zearalenone (ZEA), a prevalent food contaminant, caused SCs oxidative damage and inhibits their proliferation. Therefore, a naturally occurring antioxidant, i.e., the deer blood phospholipids (DBP) has been sel.....
