Gulf War Veterans

Many Veterans from the 1990 – 1991 Gulf War suffer from chronic multisystem illnesses, called Gulf War Illness. Fatigue is one of the trademark symptoms of Gulf War Illness and is typically brought on by physical activity. Very little is currently understood about the delayed onset of fatiguing symptoms brought on by physical activity. The goal of this project is to learn more about the processes that causes these symptoms after exercise.

Eligibility: Veterans who served during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm who have Gulf War Illness AND those who do not have Gulf War Illness. Must be physically able to ride a stationary bike and willing to provide blood samples.

Duration: Your participation will involve 2 study sessions lasting 3-4 hours each. In appreciation of your time, you will receive compensation
