High Serum-Induced AhRL Is Associated with Prevalent Metabolic Syndrome and Future Impairment of Glucose Tolerance in the Elderly [PDF]
Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2021 Background High circulating levels of dioxins and dioxin-like chemicals, acting via the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), have previously been linked to diabetes.

Genetic dissection of endothelial transcriptional activity of zebrafish aryl hydrocarbon receptors (AHRs). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor conserved across phyla from flies to humans. Activated by a number of endogenous ligands and environmental toxins, studies on AHR function and gene regulation have ...

Atypical functions of xenobiotic receptors in lipid and glucose metabolism
Medical Review, 2022 Xenobiotic receptors are traditionally defined as xenobiotic chemical-sensing receptors, the activation of which transcriptionally regulates the expression of enzymes and transporters involved in the metabolism and disposition of xenobiotics.

The aryl hydrocarbon receptor system [PDF]
dmdi, 2012 Abstract The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) recognizes a large number of xenobiotics, such as polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and dioxins, and it activates several metabolic and detoxification pathways. Recent evidence suggests that this receptor also has important endogenous functions subsequent to activation by natural dietary ...
