AHR and diabetic kidney disease: A paper about the function of AhR in the pathophysiological processes of diabetic nephropathy (on the basis of an AhR knockout mouse model and a pharmacological inhibitor, α-naphthoflavone) has revealed that AhR mediates renal oxidative stress in a diabetic mouse model, thereby inducing infiltration by macrophages, extracellular matrix accumulation, and mesangial cell activation [350].
