Vasoactive metabolites deriving from arachidonic acid (AA) have been considered as putative mediators in the pathogenesis of various types of headache. In the present study we therefore compare the ability to synthesize AA containing precursor phospholipids in polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) from
Prostaglandins and leukotrienes have been implicated in the pathogenesis of various types of headache, mainly because some, but not all, cyclo-oxygenase inhibitors are effective in their treatment. We have therefore investigated whether a pathologically changed turnover of arachidonic acid
In view of the still unexplained pathomechanism of Horton's cluster headaches 9 patients were given a challenge test with nitroglycerin while at the same time the attacks were blocked with indomethacin. The attacks were provoked with one dose (1 mg) of nitroglycerin. Then during 3 days the patients
Headache is a common complaint after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). Changes in the CNS lipidome were previously associated with acrolein-induced headache in rodents. mTBI caused similar headache-like symptoms in rats; therefore, we tested the hypothesis that mTBI might likewise alter the
Platelet hyperactivity, one of the commonest findings associated with migraine, has been related to increased release of biologically active substances such as catecholamines and arachidonic acid metabolites, which seem to play a role in the pathogenesis of migraine. In this study, in vitro platelet
As recently demonstrated by our group, polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) from cluster headache patients have an increased ability to incorporate arachidonic acid (AA) and L-serine into phosphatidylserine (PS). To evaluate whether there is an increased incorporation into PS also from fatty acids not
It has recently been demonstrated by our group that polymorphonuclear cells (PMNs) from cluster headache patients incorporate more arachidonic acid (AA) into phosphatidylserine (PS) than PMNs from controls. In the present report, the incorporation of L-(U-14C)serine into PS in PMNs from 14 healthy
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are biosynthetic precursors of endocannabinoids with antinociceptive, anxiolytic, and neurogenic properties. We recently reported that targeted dietary manipulation-increasing omega-3 fatty acids while reducing omega-6 linoleic acid (the H3-L6 intervention)-reduced
Chronic Post Traumatic Headache (PTH) is among the most common and disabling sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI). Current PTH treatments are often only partially effective and have problematic side effects. We previously showed in a small randomized trial of patients with chronic non-traumatic
BACKGROUND
Targeted analgesic dietary interventions are a promising strategy for alleviating pain and improving quality of life in patients with persistent pain syndromes, such as chronic daily headache (CDH). High intakes of the omega-6 (n-6) polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), linoleic acid (LA)
BACKGROUND
Chronic headache is an incapacitating condition afflicting patients at least for 15 days per month. In the most cases it is developed as a consequence of an excessive use of symptomatic drugs.
METHODS
Here we report the case of a 34 year-old man suffering from chronic headache possibly
Cilostazol is an antiplatelet agent with vasodilating properties that has been used in the treatment of patients with peripheral ischaemia such as intermittent claudication. The drug inhibits platelet aggregation induced by ADP, collagen and arachidonic acid. Unlike aspirin (acetylsalicylic acid),
D-003 is a mixture of high molecular weight aliphatic primary acids purified from sugar cane wax with antiplatelet and cholesterol-lowering effects. Previous studies showed that D-003 (10-20 mg/day) administered for a short time inhibits platelet aggregation, 14 days being the longest duration
BACKGROUND
Policosanol is a mixture of long-chain primary aliphatic alcoholspurified from sugar cane wax that has cholesterol lowering and antiplatelet effects. Omega-3 fatty acids (FA) have triglyceride lowering and antiplatelet effects. Combination treatment with policosanol and omega-3 FA (Ω23FA)
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disorder of airways. It is characterised by bronchoconstriction, oedema and airways mucus hypersecretion. The main clinical features of asthma are dyspnea, cough, wheezing and heaviness in the chest. The pathology of asthma is characterised by presence of many
