Studies on gender-specific disruption of bone tissue homeostasis by dioxins [PDF]
Dioxins are widespread environmental pollutants, known to cause immunosuppression, developmental and reproductive defects, as well as cancer. The toxic effects of dioxins are mediated by the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR, also referred to as the ...

Recombinant aryl hydrocarbon receptors for bioassay of aryl hydrocarbon receptor ligands in transgenic tobacco plants [PDF]
SummaryDioxin residues widely contaminate soil and agricultural products at low concentrations and may accumulate in organisms at the top of food chains owing to their physicochemical properties. In this study, we have developed novel, dioxin‐inducible, reporter gene expression systems regulated by recombinant aryl hydrocarbon receptors (AhRs).

BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine / Lupinalbin A as the most potent estrogen receptor \u3b1- and aryl hydrocarbon receptor agonist in Eriosema laurentii de Wild. (Leguminosae) [PDF]
Background: Eriosema laurentii De Wild. (Leguminosae) is a plant used in Cameroon against infertility and gynecological or menopausal complaints. In our previous report, a methanol extract of its aerial parts was shown to exhibit estrogenic and aryl ...

Cryptochrome and PAS/LOV proteins play intricate roles in circadian clocks where they act as both sensors and mediators of protein–protein interactions. Their ubiquitous presence in signaling networks has positioned them as targets for small‐molecule therapeutics. This review provides a structural introduction to these protein families.

Steroid Hormones and Endocrine Disruptors: Recent Advances in Receptor–Mediated Actions [PDF]
It has been accepted that receptor-mediated action of steroid hormones depends on both the receptor and the hormonal level. The mechanism of transcription by steroid receptors is mediated by cofactors, which function as co-activators or co ...

Influence of oxidative stress on aryl hydrocarbon receptor signaling [PDF]
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR), a multifunctional protein and a key regulator of drug metabolizing enzymes, belongs to the basic-helix-loop-helix (bHLH)/PAS (Per- Arnt-Sim) super-family of transcription factors.
