migraine disorders/phosphatase

Migraine is periodical disorder which is characterized by recurrent headache seizures different in intensity, frequency and duration. Amylases L-1,4 glycol: gluckanohidrolises, (EC.3.2.1.1) are enzymes from hydrolase's group which dissolve starch meaning glycogen. Activity of amylases in serum

OBJECTIVE Migraine is a refractory disease that is due to neuronal hyperexcitability, and has high incidence, mortality, and disability rates. The N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor 2B (NR2B) subunit has been found to play an important role in the pathogenesis of migraine. There is evidence suggesting

Eleven genetic markers were typed in 112 unrelated patients with migraine (50 with aura, 62 without aura) and compared with a random sample of healthy individuals. No significant differences were found for the ABO and Rh systems, acid phosphatase 1, phosphoglucomutase 1, adenosine deaminase,

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

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of supplementary vitamin D therapy in addition to amitriptyline on the frequency of migraine attacks in pediatric migraine patients. Fifty-three children 8-16 years of age and diagnosed with migraine following the International Headache Society

BACKGROUND The R192Q mutation of the CACNA1A gene, encoding for the α1 subunit of voltage-gated P/Q Ca2+ channels (Ca(v)2.1), is associated with familial hemiplegic migraine-1. We investigated whether this gain-of-function mutation changed the structure and function of trigeminal neuron P2X3

The present study aimed to investigate phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate 3‑kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway activation in a rat model of migraine. A total of 60 male Sprague‑Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups: Blank control; suspension control; and migraine

Activation of trigeminal nerves and release of neuropeptides that promote inflammation are implicated in the underlying pathology of migraine and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. The overall response of trigeminal nerves to peripheral inflammatory stimuli involves a balance between enzymes

TRESK (TWIK-related spinal cord K(+) channel, KCNK18) belongs to the two-pore domain (K2P) background (leak) potassium channel family. Unlike other K2P channels, TRESK is activated by the calcium signal in heterologous expression systems. The activation is mediated by the

Migraine is a painful and debilitating neurological disorder that affects approximately 10% of the adult population in Western countries. Sensitization and activation of the trigeminal ganglia nerves that innervate the meningeal blood vessels is believed to play an important role in the initiation

Valproic acid (VPA) is a drug used for the treatment of epilepsy, bipolar psychiatric disorders, and migraine. Previous studies have reported an increased generation of reactive oxygen species and oxidative stress in the toxic mechanism of VPA. Edaravone, a free radical scavenger for clinical use,

Extracellular nucleotides and nucleosides are signalling molecules acting in all tissues and organs, including the central nervous system (CNS). A wide variety of effects, exerted by ecto-purines, requires that their levels, and ATP in particular, must be precisely controlled. Under physiological

Retinal vasculopathy with cerebral leukoencephalopathy and systemic manifestations (RVCL-S) is a small-vessel disease that affects highly vascularized tissues including the retina, brain, liver, and kidneys. Age of onset

We describe a mother and two daughters who had the following clinical manifestations: bluish discoloration of the vermillion ridge of the lips, nipple areolae, and nail beds; discrete telangiectasia of the chest, elbows, and dorsa of the hands; varicosities of the lower part of the legs; and (in the
