1 The AhR ligand 3,3"-diindolylmethane (DIM) is a beneficial dietary constituent that prevents breast tumors in rodents and is associated with decreased breast cancer risk in humans. 3,3'-diindolylmethane aryl hydrocarbon receptor Homo sapiens
2 We find that DIM and TCDD have differing abilities to activate the distinct AhR-controlled pathways. 3,3'-diindolylmethane aryl hydrocarbon receptor Homo sapiens
3 Our findings reveal that DIM and TCDD each elicit a unique pattern of change in pathways that control estrogen action; such patterns may determine if an AhR ligand has beneficial or adverse health effects. 3,3'-diindolylmethane aryl hydrocarbon receptor Homo sapiens
