Dural stimulation in rats causes brain-derived neurotrophic factor-dependent priming to subthreshold stimuli including a migraine trigger.
Migraine is one of the most common and most disabling disorders. Between attacks, migraine patients are otherwise normal but are sensitized to nonnoxious events known as triggers. The purpose of these studies was to investigate whether a headache-like event causes sensitization, or priming, to subsequent subthreshold events. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) was applied to the rat cranial dura mater which p...
متن کاملThe effect of DETA NONOate, a nitric oxide donor, on the rate of collagen synthesis in rat as an animal model of diabetes
Exogenous nitric oxide donors such as DETA NONOate, spontaneously release nitric oxide. This study aimed to investigate the effect of DETA NONOate as a nitric oxide releasing drug on the rate of collagen synthesis during the impaired wound healing in a rat model of diabetes. Twelve male Sprague–Dawley rats were transferred into separate metabolic cages. Nine days before wounding, the rats were ...
متن کاملValproate Attenuates Nitroglycerin-Induced Trigeminovascular Activation by Preserving Mitochondrial Function in a Rat Model of Migraine
BACKGROUND Migraine is a chronic disease that interferes with life quality and work productivity. Valproate shows protective effects against migraine, yet the underlying mechanisms are unclear. This study aimed to evaluate the potential effect of valproate on migraine using a rat model of nitroglycerin-induced trigeminovascular activation, as well as to explore the underlying mechanism. MATERIA...
متن کاملNitric oxide-induced headache in patients with chronic tension-type headache.
An experimental model of headache offers unique possibilities to study the mechanisms responsible for head pain. Using the glyceryl trinitrate [GTN; nitric oxide (NO) donor] model of experimental headache, we studied the intensity, quality and time profile of headache after infusion of GTN in 16 patients with chronic tension-type headache and in 16 healthy controls. Subjects were randomized to ...
متن کاملOpposite Reactivity of Meningeal versus Cortical Microvessels to the Nitric Oxide Donor Glyceryl Trinitrate Evaluated In Vivo with Two-Photon Imaging
Vascular changes underlying headache in migraine patients induced by Glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) were previously studied with various imaging techniques. Despite the long history of medical and experimental use of GTN, its effects on the brain vasculature are still poorly understood presumably due to low spatial resolution of the imaging modalities used so far. We took advantage of the micrometer...
