Abstract excerpt
Ahr is a ligand-activated bHLH/PAS transcription factor involved in cytochrome P450 (CYP) gene regulation and murine susceptibility to atherogenic stimuli. The present studies were conducted to examine constitutive and inducible expression of Cyp1a1 and Cyp1b1 in vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from Ahr(+/+) and Ahr(-/-) mice. Cyp1a1 mRNA was not expressed constitutively in VSMCs irrespective of Ahr...
