Mealworm larvae metabolize deoxynivalenol through multiple pathways, reducing toxin levels.
Essential amino acids like methionine and lysine are significantly reduced after deoxynivalenol exposure.
Prolonged exposure to deoxynivalenol alters lipid metabolism, increasing linoleic acid levels.
The study highlights the potential of insects for feed production while indicating nutritional challenges.
