Obesity, migraine, and chronic migraine: possible mechanisms of interaction.
Migraine and obesity are associated in several ways. First, both are prevalent and disabling disorders influenced by genetic and environmental risk factors. Second, migraine with aura, as obesity, seems to be a risk factor for cardiovascular events. Finally, large population-based studies suggest that obesity is a risk factor for chronic migraine after adjusting for comorbidities. In this artic...
متن کاملHistamine in migraine and brain.
BACKGROUND Histamine has been studied in both health and disease since the initial description a century ago. With its vasodilative effect, it was suggested early on to be involved in the pathophysiology of migraine. Over the past 25 years, much has been learned about histamine as a neurotransmitter in the central nervous system. The role of this neurotransmitter system in migraine has not been...
متن کاملHistamine Receptors as Potential Therapeutic Targets for Cancer Drug Development
Although research over the last decade has led to new and improved therapies for a variety of different diseases, anticancer drug therapy continues to have undesirable outcomes, including both poor response and severe toxicity. In addition to the critical need to discover new drugs, it is important to optimize existing therapies in order to minimize adverse reactions and maximize efficacy. In t...
متن کاملChronic Renal Transplant Rejection and Possible Anti-Proliferative Drug Targets
The global prevalence of renal transplants is increasing with time, and renal transplantation is the only definite treatment for end-stage renal disease. We have limited the acute and late acute rejection of kidney allografts, but the long-term survival of renal tissues still remains a difficult and unanswered question as most of the renal transplants undergo failure within a decade of their tr...
متن کاملFinding new drug targets for the treatment of migraine attacks.
No new preventive drugs specific to migraine have appeared for the last 20 years and existing acute therapies need improvement. Unfortunately, no animal models can predict the efficacy of new therapies for migraine. Because migraine attacks are fully reversible and can be aborted by therapy, the headache- or migraine-provoking property of naturally occurring signalling molecules can be tested i...
