Diethylstilbestrol (DES) is a synthetic non-steroidal estrogen belonging to the stilbene group, which also includes dienestrol and hexestrol. It was previously used as a growth promoter in livestock to improve feed conversion and weight gain. Due to its carcinogenic and endocrine-disrupting properties, the use of DES in food-producing animals has been banned in many countries. Monitoring DES residues in biological samples and food products is important for ensuring food safety and regulatory compliance.
