The aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) is a transcription factor activated by ligands that participates in many important physiological processes. Although AHR activation is associated with hepatomegaly, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study evaluated the effects of AHR activation on liver enlargement and regeneration in various transgenic mice and animal models. Activation of AHR by the non-toxic ligand YH439 significantly induced liver/body weight ratio in wild-type mice (1.37-fold) and AHR
