deet and Persian Gulf Syndrome

deet has been researched along with Persian Gulf Syndrome in 26 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.

Persian Gulf Syndrome: Unexplained symptoms reported by veterans of the Persian Gulf War with Iraq in 1991. The symptoms reported include fatigue, skin rash, muscle and joint pain, headaches, loss of memory, shortness of breath, gastrointestinal and respiratory symptoms, and extreme sensitivity to commonly occurring chemicals. (Nature 1994 May 5;369(6475):8)

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"We used a mouse model of GWI by exposing mice repeatedly to a combination of Gulf War chemicals (pyridostigmine bromide, permethrin, DEET, and chlorpyrifos) and mild immobilization stress, followed by investigating their pain susceptibilities and fatigue symptoms."4.02Exposure to Gulf War Illness-related agents leads to the development of chronic pain and fatigue. ( Clark, JD; Goba, L; Huang, TT; Nguyen, H; Sahbaie, P; Sul, J; Suzaki, A, 2021)
" 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)
"We investigated whether brain inflammation in GWI is associated with activation of high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) and complement-related proteins in neurons and astrocytes, and brain inflammation can be tracked through neuron-derived extracellular vesicles (NDEVs) and astrocyte-derived EVs (ADEVs) found in the circulating blood."1.51Neuroinflammation in Gulf War Illness is linked with HMGB1 and complement activation, which can be discerned from brain-derived extracellular vesicles in the blood. ( Attaluri, S; Gitai, D; Kodali, M; Madhu, LN; Shetty, AK; Shuai, B; Upadhya, R, 2019)
" Due to differences in the dermal absorption of DEET between mice and humans, this study eliminated this confounding factor by utilizing sc injection and measured circulating blood levels of DEET to assess bioavailability from sc administration."1.35N,N,-diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) suppresses humoral immunological function in B6C3F1 mice. ( Dudley, AC; EuDaly, JG; Gilkeson, GS; Keil, DE; McGuinn, WD; Peden-Adams, MM, 2009)
" IPPSFs (n=4/treatment) were topically dosed with mixtures of permethrin, DEET, and permethrin/DEET, in ethanol."1.32Pyridostigmine bromide modulates topical irritant-induced cytokine release from human epidermal keratinocytes and isolated perfused porcine skin. ( Baynes, RE; Monteiro-Riviere, NA; Riviere, JE, 2003)
