1. Distribution of CGRP and CGRP receptor in the trigeminovascular system and CNS
Sammanfattning : Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) has a key role in the pathophysiology of migraine and is associated with activation of the trigeminovascular system. Recently, CGRP receptor antagonists have been developed with clinical efficacy. LÄS MER
2. Messenger molecules and receptors in the human trigeminovascular system
Sammanfattning : The initiation of a migraine attack involves a primary central nervous system dysfunction with subsequent activation of the trigeminovascular system. In trigeminal ganglia, the expression of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), substance P (SP) and nitric oxide synthase (NOS) have been demonstrated by immunocytochemistry. LÄS MER
