This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Many of the veterans who served in the Gulf War have subsequently developed somatic and psychological symptoms. Some veterans' symptoms are clearly due to known disorders such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) but many others are experiencing a broad array of symptoms which defy diagnostic classification. To evaluate whether symptoms in Gulf War veterans (GWVs) are related to a stress disorder, we propose to study psychobiologic alterations in GWVs using the same neuroendocrinologic methods that have proven useful in elucidating the pathophysiology of PTSD in Vietman veterans. We aim to determine whether PTSD is associated with neuroendocrine alterations in GWVs and whether other health symptoms in these veterans are associated with neuroendocrine alterations.

该子项目是利用 NIH/NCRR 资助的中心拨款提供的资源的众多研究子项目之一。子项目和研究者 (PI) 可能已从另一个 NIH 来源获得主要资金，因此可以在其他 CRISP 条目中得到体现。列出的机构是中心的机构，不一定是研究者的机构。许多参加过海湾战争的退伍军人随后出现了躯体和心理症状。一些退伍军人的症状显然是由创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）等已知疾病引起的，但许多其他退伍军人正在经历一系列无法​​诊断分类的症状。为了评估海湾战争退伍军人 (GWV) 的症状是否与应激障碍有关，我们建议使用相同的神经内分泌学方法来研究 GWV 的心理生物学变化，这些方法已被证明有助于阐明越南退伍军人的 PTSD 病理生理学。我们的目的是确定 PTSD 是否与 GWV 的神经内分泌改变相关，以及这些退伍军人的其他健康症状是否与神经内分泌改变相关。
