Studies on the Mechanism of Glutamate Metabolism in NTG-Induced Migraine Rats Treated with DCXF.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To explore the mechanism of the antimigraine effect by active components extracted from the Dachuanxiong prescription (DCXF), nitroglycerin- (NTG-) induced migraine rats were used to detect the change of glutamate metabolism and the overall metabolic profile at different time points in the serum and Trigeminocervical complex(TCC) samples.

Method

The biological samples that were obtained at 30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 90 minutes after model establishment or drug administration were tested by GC-TOF-MS. Then, real-time PCR and western blot were applied to detect changes in the expression of some substances involved in glutamate metabolism.

Result

DCXF could improve the metabolic profile of serum and TCC in migraine rats and showed the time trend of treatment,
