DNA microarray containing 30,000 genes was used to monitor the transcriptional response of the neonatal brain after cadmium (Cd) exposure. C57BL/6J pregnant mice were exposed to Cd (10 ppm) during gestation and lactation via drinking water. In a comparison between the Cd-exposed neonatal brain and control, three genes including transferrin receptor (Tfrc) were up-regulated and one gene was down-regulated.
