- Urinary excretion patterns were investigated over a period of eight days.
- A third deoxynivalenol-glucuronide isomer was tentatively identified for the first time in human urine.
- Fate of ingested masked DON forms in humans was preliminary investigated.
- Urinary excretion rate of total zearalenone was estimated.
