Plasma-induced release of platelet-serotonin and Met-enkephalin was studied by incubating platelets from migraineurs, tension headache patients and healthy volunteers with water, plasma collected during migraine attacks and with plasma collected during attack-free periods. Migraine-attack plasma, but not migraine attack-free plasma, released Met-enkephalin from platelets of migraineurs. Platelets of healthy controls or tension headache sufferers did not release their Met-enkephalin in response to either incubation medium. In contrast to Met-enkephalin, serotonin was not released from platelets in relevant quantities by migraine-attack plasma.
