deet and Nervous System Disorders

deet has been researched along with Nervous System Disorders in 9 studies

N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide : A monocarboxylic acid amide resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of m-toluic acid with the nitrogen of diethylamine. First developed by the U.S. Army in 1946 for use by military personnel in insect-infested areas, it is the most widely used insect repellent worldwide.

" Risk of syndrome 2 ("confusion-ataxia") increased with a scale of advanced adverse effects from pyridostigmine bromide (chi2 for trend, P<."3.69Self-reported exposure to neurotoxic chemical combinations in the Gulf War. A cross-sectional epidemiologic study. ( Haley, RW; Kurt, TL, 1997)
"The DEET Registry is a post-marketing surveillance system to provide systematic and detailed information about medical events temporally associated with DEET use."1.36Adverse events associated with the use of insect repellents containing N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET). ( Fell, LA; Murphy, JV; Osimitz, TG; Page, B, 2010)
" An apparent treatment-related effect in thermal response time (increased) was noted for both sexes 1 hr after dosing at the 500 mg/kg dose level."1.29Neurotoxicity evaluation of N,N-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) in rats. ( Hartnagel, RE; Schardein, JL; Schoenig, GP; Vorhees, CV, 1993)
" We hypothesize that test compounds may compete for xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes in the liver and blood and may also compromise the integrity of the blood-brain barrier, leading to an increase in their "effective concentrations" in the nervous system to levels equivalent to the toxic doses of individual compounds."1.29Increased neurotoxicity following concurrent exposure to pyridostigmine bromide, DEET, and chlorpyrifos.
