Various liver diseases lead to an extensive inflammatory response and release of a number of proinflammatory cytokines, such as tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha).

We investigated possible interactions of TNF-alpha with ligands of the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) and known liver carcinogens, such as 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and coplanar 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB 126).
