Abstract excerpt
The binding of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) with the aryl hydrocarbon (AH) receptor and subsequent changes in gene expression have been studied intensively, but the mechanisms by which these lead to toxicity are unclear. We investigated the influence of iron, previously implicated in TCDD-induced hepatic porphyria, in mice with alleles of Ahr that encode receptors with varied affinity for TCDD. The...
