Expression of aryl hydrocarbon receptor 1 (AHR1), AHR1 nuclear translocator 1 (ARNT1) and CYP1 family monooxygenase mRNAs and their activity in chicken ovarian follicles following in vitro exposure to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)

•Chicken ovarian follicles express AHR1, ARNT1 and CYP1-family monooxygenases.•TCDD and LH affect AHR1, ARNT1, CYP1A4, A5 and B1 expression in chicken ovary.•TCDD induces EROD and MROD activities both in white and yellow follicles.•The avian ovary is an organ of dioxin and dioxin-like compounds deto...
