š§¬ What Is Beta-Glucuronidase?
Beta-glucuronidase (Ī²G) is a lysosomal enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glucuronidesāmeaning it breaks apart compounds that have been conjugated with glucuronic acid during Phase II liver detoxification. It is the undoer of the covenantāthe enzyme that breaks the seal. Sources of Beta-Gl

MycoestrogensĀ areĀ xenoestrogensĀ produced byĀ fungi. They are sometimes referred to as mycotoxins.
Among important mycoestrogens areĀ zearalenone,Ā zearalenolĀ andĀ zearalanol. Although all of these can be produced by variousĀ FusariumĀ species,Ā zearalenol and zearalanol may also be produced endogenously in ruminants that have ingested zearalenone. Alpha-zearalanol is also produced semisynthetic
Metalloestrogens
Metalloestrogens are a class of inorganic xenoestrogens which can affect the gene expression of human cells responding to estrogen. Effects are related to the physiologic function of estrogen because metalloestrogens have shown affinity for estrogen receptors.
