  • Title: Platelet norepinephrine and serotonin balance in migraine.
    Author: D'Andrea G, Welch KM, Grunfeld S, Joseph R, Nagel-Leiby S.
    Journal: Headache; 1989 Nov; 29(10):657-9. PubMed ID: 2613514.
    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.
