CYP enzymes: a large group of enzymes metabolising drugs and foreign
compounds (xenobiotics). AH receptor activated by dioxins initiates
the expression of many CYP enzymes, i.e. it causes enzyme induction.
This is in essence an adaptive and beneficial response, although in
some cases it may lead to synthesis of carcinogenic intermediates (see
metabolism)[1]
