1 In the AhR assay using a sensitive DR-EcoScreen cell line, five of the 25 PCB congeners showed agonistic activity. Polychlorinated Biphenyls aryl hydrocarbon receptor Homo sapiens
2 We newly found that PCB-1, -35 and -56 can act as AhR agonists. Polychlorinated Biphenyls aryl hydrocarbon receptor Homo sapiens
3 These results suggest that unintentional PCBs in pigments and chemical products might act as agonists and/or antagonists against ERalpha/beta, AR, GR, and AhR, and some of the PCBs might disrupt endocrine functions via multiple receptors and/or simultaneously induce dioxin-like activity via AhR. Polychlorinated Biphenyls aryl hydrocarbon receptor Homo sapiens
4 These results suggest that unintentional PCBs in pigments and chemical products might act as agonists and/or antagonists against ERalpha/beta, AR, GR, and AhR, and some of the PCBs might disrupt endocrine functions via multiple receptors and/or simultaneously induce dioxin-like activity via AhR. Polychlorinated Biphenyls aryl hydrocarbon receptor Homo sapiens
