Nov 15, 2018 · This chapter considers the possible effects of toxic exposure to the herbicides used during the Vietnam War and specific clinical conditions associated with the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), primarily brain dysfunctions. The COIs are 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T), picloram (4-amino-3,5,6 ...

Mar 6, 2014 · In addition, although they dealt with hepatocytes and not cells of the nervous system, earlier studies have indicated that 2,4-D affected aspects of mitochondrial energetics and mitochondrial calcium flux (Palmeira et al., 1994a,b, 1995a,b); if these effects can also occur in nervous-system cell mitochondria, which is feasible, the energy balance and pathways of cells in the nervous system ...

May 20, 2024 · Research has revealed associations between Agent Orange exposures and later development of neurodegenerative diseases, and significantly higher rates and earlier onsets of dementia. However, in the absence of a proved causal link, there has been a need for studies that improve understanding of the process by which the herbicide affects the brain.

Jan 25, 2021 · Although evidence of an association between Agent Orange exposure and dementia was considered insufficient, dementia is a growing concern among veterans (a 20% increase by 2033), with military-relevant conditions found to be particularly salient risk factors (eg, posttraumatic stress disorder [PTSD], traumatic brain injury). 3,4,5,6 The goal of this study was to examine the association between ...
