Fig 5. Association between expression of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) gene in blood cells and circulating concentrations of indole-3-acetaldehyde (IAAld) and insulin.

Fig 5

Postprandial changes in AhR expression (A) and in circulating concentrations of IAAld (B) (Pimentel et al.,submitted) following dairy intake. Postprandial changes of AhR correlate with IAAld after acidified milk intake (rho = -0.43, p = 0.05) but not after yoghurt intake (rho = 0.28, p = 0.20) (C). Changes in AhR expression at 2 h postprandially correlate with changes in insulin at 2 h after yoghurt intake (rho = 0.75, p = 0.05) with a similar trend after acidified milk intake (rho = 0.61, p = 0.14) (D). Acidified milk, blue and yoghurt, red. Symbols represent the time of sampling: 2 h (circles), 4 h (triangles) and 6 h (squares). Abbreviations: AhR, aryl hydrocarbon receptor; IAAld, indole acetaldehyde.
