AhR, PXR and CAR: From Xenobiotic Receptors to Metabolic Sensors

Traditionally, xenobiotic receptors are known for their role in chemical sensing and detoxification, as receptor activation regulates the expression of various key enzymes and receptors. However, recent studies have highlighted that xenobiotic receptors also play a key role in the regulation of lipi...
