Abstract excerpt
Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) plays important roles in the regulation and induction of xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes including the cytochromes P450 1 family (CYP1) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferases 1A (UGT1As) by polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons as well as chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons. To determine whether pyrene-induced xenobiotic-metabolizing enzymes are regulated by AhR, male AhR (+/+) and (-/-) mice...
