Reversing Zearalenone Toxicity: The Role of Hydroxytyrosol in Zebrafish

2), thereby mitigating apoptosis and G2 cell cycle arrest induced by ZEA in zebrafish embryos. Additionally, hydroxytyrosol decreased staining for senescence associated-β-galactosidase (SA-β-Gal). Notably, p53/FoxO pathway plays an important role in detoxification mechanisms. Overall, these novel findings highlight the potential of hydroxytyrosol to reverse ZEA-induced toxicity in multiple aspects. The mitigating effect of hydroxytyrosol on ZEA toxicity may have been underestimated.
