Project description:To identify liver transcripts differentially expressed due to treatment with 1,2-bis(tribromophenoxy)ethane (BTBPE) (Firemaster 680), we collected RNA from male Harlan Sprague Dawley rats exposed to 0, 0.07, 0.69, 6.88, 68 or 680 mg/kg BTBPE, 5 days after exposure for animals 7 weeks of age. These samples were interrogated with the Affymetrix Rat Genome 230 2.0 GeneChip array. A total of 0,0,0,0, and 0 gene transcripts were differentially expressed due to BTBPE treatment after exposure to 0.07, 0.69, 6.88, 68 or 680 mg/kg BTBPE (false discovery rate (FDR) < 0.05).
