Figure 2. In vivo PCB126 exposure up-regulates AhR expression in target tissues.

Figure 2

AhR protein expression in the lung (a), kidney (b) and liver (c) tissues collected from male Wistar rats exposed to vehicle or PCB126 (0.1, 1, or 10 μg/kg once a day during 15 days). AhR protein expression in the adipose tissue (d) collected from male Wistar rats exposed to vehicle or PCB126 (10 μg/kg once a day during 15 days). Five hours after the last exposures, samples were collected and AhR levels were quantified by Western blot. Data (n = 4 for each group) were analysed by one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test (a–c) or Student’s t-test (d). *P < 0.05 vs. vehicle.
