Pb exposure modifies IL-6 gene expression in the brain as measured by real-time TaqMan RT-PCR. Male and female mice were exposed to 0.1 mM Pb acetate from gd8 to pnd21 (A), or 0.5 mM Pb from gd0 to pnd21 (B) through the dam’s drinking water. All were assayed on pnd21. Cytokine mRNA was quantified and normalized to that of GAPDH within each sample. The data represent an N of 3 litters for male and female mice Pb-treated or untreated, i.e., 6 litters total. Results represent mean ± SE; the * indicates a P≤0.05.
