OBJECTIVE
The pathogenesis of chronic migraine (CM) remains largely unknown. We hypothesized that anomalies of tyrosine metabolism, found in migraine without aura (MwwA) patients, play an important role in the transformation of MwwA into CM, since the increase in the number of MwwA attacks is the
We studied biochemical parameters related with central dopaminergic neurotransmission in migraine patients during crisis. We determined tyrosine and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) levels in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 47 patients, 29 suffering migraine without aura and 18 suffering migraine
OBJECTIVE
Activation of the trigeminal nucleus caudalis is believed to be involved in the pathomechanism of migraine. Evidence suggests that N-methyl-d-aspartate receptor subtype 2B tyrosine phosphorylation, originating from the trigeminal nucleus caudalis neuron dysfunction, might be a triggering
Tyrosine phosphorylation of NR2B (NR2B-pTyr), a subunit of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor, has been reported to develop central sensitization and persistent pain in the spine, but its effect in chronic migraines has not been examined. We hypothesized that tyrosine phosphorylation of NR2B
In order to understand the possible role of tyrosine metabolism and in particular that of elusive amines in the pathogenesis of eating disorders (ED), we measured the plasma levels of dopamine, noradrenaline, tyramine (Tyr) and octopamine (Oct) in a large group of anorexic and bulimic patients. In
There are a number of hypotheses concerning the pathogenesis of migraine, but they are frequently conflicting. In addition to the vascular hypothesis, clinical data are available that excitatory amino acids may play an important role in the development of the disease. In this study, free amino acid
BACKGROUND
Tianshu capsule(TSC)is a Chinese patent medicine. It's widely used to treat migraine clinically in China.
OBJECTIVE
In the present study, we investigated anti-migraine and anti-depression activities of TSC using in vivo animal models together with in vitro studies to investigate the
Aim To address whether, in patients with chronic migraine and medication overuse headache, mindfulness-based treatment is associated with changes in plasma levels of catecholamines and elusive amines that are similar to those observed in patients undergoing pharmacological prophylaxis. Methods In
Recent studies have suggested that abnormalities of dopamine and trace amines (tyramine, octopamine, and synephrine), products of tyrosine metabolism, may constitute the metabolic events that predispose to the occurrence of cluster headache (CH) and migraine attacks. This hypothesis is supported by
We have systematically studied the effects of varying the central unnatural amino acid moiety on CGRP receptor antagonist potency and CYP inhibition in a series of ureidoamides. In this Letter, we report the discovery of compound 23, a potent CGRP receptor antagonist with only weak CYP3A4
Trace amines, including tyramine, octopamine and synephrine, are closely related to classic biogenic amines. In one study, where these substances were found elevated in plasma of migraineurs, it was hypothesized that trace amine metabolism is deranged in migraine. To confirm these findings, we
BACKGROUND
Various CACNA1A missense mutations cause familial hemiplegic migraine type 1 (FHM1), a rare monogenic subtype of migraine with aura. FHM1 mutation R192Q is associated with pure hemiplegic migraine, whereas the S218L mutation causes hemiplegic migraine, cerebellar ataxia, seizures, and
BACKGROUND
The study of COMT gene polymorphisms in migraine could be of particular interest since impaired catecholaminergic neurotransmission, namely chronic dopaminergic and noradrenergic hypofunction, is a peculiar migraine trait. In this study, for the first time, we focused on the role of COMT
OBJECTIVE
Serotonin is one of the most potent constrictors of cerebral blood vessels and is implicated in several pathological conditions, including migraine and cerebral ischemia. Recent evidence has suggested that tyrosine kinase is involved in vasocontractile responses. The objective of this
The pathogenesis of migraine is still, today, a hotly debated issue. Recent biochemical studies report the occurrence in migraine of metabolic abnormalities in the synthesis of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators. These include a metabolic shift directing tyrosine metabolism toward the
