Award

Investigating additive impact of heat stress on zearalenone-induced ovotoxicity

Description: Heat stress, as a consequence of climate change, negatively impairs female reproduction. The dietary contaminant, Zearalenone, mimics estradiol, thereby altering female reproductive function. Determining adverse outcomes of these exposures alone and in combination, will inform strategies to improve female fertility.
