Platelet norepinephrine and serotonin balance in migraine
Headache
|November 1, 1989
Abstract:
Platelet serotonin (5 hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) and norepinephrine (NE) were measured in common and classic migraine patients and healthy controls. Common migraine sufferers had high NE levels and a low 5-HT/NE ratio. Classic migraine patients had a high 5-HT level and a high 5-HT/NE ratio. The data suggest disparate NE and 5-HT metabolism between common and classic migraine.
