Mohamed Abou Donia

Rats dermally exposed to DEET and permthrin

Sub-chronic dermal application of N,N- diethyl-m-toluamide (DEET) and permethrin to adult rats, alone and in combination, causes diffused neuronal cell death and cytoskeletal abnormalities in the cerebral cortex and the hippocampus, and Purkinje neuron loss in cerebellum. Exp. Neurol. 172: 153-171. [Model established prior to GWIRP funding but reproduced and confirmed with the GWIRP award.]
