Flavonoids are important bioactive dietary compounds. They induce electrophile-responsive
element (EpRE)-mediated expression of enzymes, such as NAD(P)H−quinone …

A recombinant H4IIE rat hepatoma cell line (H4L1.1c4, H4IIE-luc), containing a luciferase
reporter gene under control of dioxin-responsive enhancers, was examined for …

Using recombinant cell lines showing Ah receptor-controlled expression of a luciferase
reporter gene, the interaction of di-ortho-substituted polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) with Ah …

Background Curcumin is a spice and a coloring food compound with a promising role in colon
cancer prevention. Curcumin protects against development of colon tumors in rats treated …

There is a strong need for the development of relatively cheap and rapid bioassays for the
determination of dioxins and related compounds in food. A newly developed CALUX (…

In the present study, the ability of green tea catechins to induce electrophile-responsive
element (EpRE)-mediated gene expression and the role of their quinones in the mechanism of …

Activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) by ligands is associated
with beneficial health effects, including anti-inflammatory and insulin-sensitizing effects. The …

The electrophile-responsive element (EpRE) is a transcriptional enhancer involved in
cancer-chemoprotective gene expression modulation by certain food components. Two stably …

Zebrafish embryos were exposed to concentration ranges of selected thyroid-active model
compounds in order to assess the applicability of zebrafish-based developmental scoring …

The possible interplay between cruciferous vegetable consumption, functional genetic variations
in glutathione S-transferases (GST) M1, T1, P1, and A1, and colorectal adenomas, was …
