Aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activation by 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) dose-dependently shifts the gut microbiome consistent with the progression of steatosis to steatohepatitis with fibrosis
This study shows that TCDD dose-dependently alters gut microbiota in mice, increasing Lactobacillus species and bile acid metabolism pathways, similar to human NAFLD progression.
