    Early-Life Exposure to Cadmium Triggers Distinct Zn-Dependent Protein Expression Patterns and Impairs Brain Development

    The objective of this study was to determine if the brain development impairment induced by early-life exposure to cadmium (Cd) could result from changes in the expression pattern of distinct zinc (Zn)-depende...
