Abstract excerpt
The arylhydrocarbon receptor (AhR) mediates sex steroid hormone-related actions in both normal physiology and in dioxin toxicity. In addition to regulation of direct target genes, the ligand-activated AhR associates with estrogen or androgen receptors (ERalpha or AR) to regulate transcription as a functional unit. Given that endogenous and exogenous AhR-ligands are structurally diverse, it is unclear whether...
