Prallethrin induced biochemical changes in erythrocyte membrane and red cell osmotic haemolysis in human volunteers.
TL;DR: Increases in generation and availability of nitric oxide might have rendered tolerance to erythrocyte membrane by protecting the cells from haemolysis and a significant decrease in membrane lipid peroxidation suggested that PS is a sensitive phospholipid species to the pyrethroid action.

Allethrin-induced biochemical changes and properties of human erythrocyte membrane
TL;DR: Increased plasma and red cell nitrate and nitrite were evident suggesting that the bioavailability of nitric oxide may have rendered tolerance to erythrocyte membrane by protecting the cell from haemolysis and oxidative damage due to its free radical scavenging and antioxidant effects.

In vitro addition of ATE offsets the allethrin induced biochemical and biophysical changes in biomembranes
TL;DR: In vitro addition of 0.5 ml aqueous ATE to red cells resulted in restoration of the above membrane parameters to normal levels, and antioxidant and therapeutic properties of ATE might have contributed for the same which needs further study.
Chronic exposure to pyrethroid-based allethrin and prallethrin mosquito repellents alters plasma biochemical profile.
TL;DR: Though the present investigation involving a limited number of human subjects indicates the onset of both protective changes as well as derangement in metabolism, a detailed and rigorous study is greatly warranted to arrive at a definite conclusion about the effects of pyrethroid mosquito repellents.
