2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin in the developing male Wistar(Han) rat.
Preliminary report:
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin exposure to humans--Seveso, Italy.
Gestational exposure to
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin disrupts B-cell lymphopoiesis and exacerbates autoimmune disease in 24-week-old SNF1 mice.
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TODD), an environmental pollutant, mediates toxicity through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR), a soluble, ligandactivated transcription factor.
For example, traces of
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) were identified in the fat of six workers contaminated during a 1953 chlorophenol explosion in West Germany.
Based on in vivo evidence of toxicity, the World Health Organization (WHO) assigned each congener a toxic equivalency factor (TEF), a measure of relative potency compared with that of reference chemical
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (Van den Berg et al.
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is a potent environmental contaminant that elicits toxicity by activating the aryl hydrocarbon receptor.
AHR agonists, including both endogenous (e.g., several tryptophan catabolites), dietary (e.g., indole-3-carbinol metabolite indolo[3,2b] carbazole), and xenobiotic [e.g.,
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)] ligands, can dramatically impact host metabolism and immunity (Angrish et al.
The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) is a soluble receptor that mediates the toxicity of
2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), a potent and persistent environmental pollutant.
