Abstract excerpt
Increasing evidence suggests that environmental contaminants can exert endocrine disruptors activities and that pollution exposition can have a role in tumorigenic processes. Several environmental pollutants have been shown to affect pituitary cells biology and function. The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) pathway is involved in xenobiotics' metabolism and in tumorigenesis. A deregulation of the AHR pathway could...
