Serum dopamine-beta-hydroxylase activity in migraine. 1976

F Gotoh, and T Kanda, and F Sakai, and M Yamamoto, and T Takeoka

Serum dopamine-beta-hydroxylase (DBH) activity was measured during headache-free intervals in 17 patients with migraine and during the headache interval in 16 patients with muscle contraction headache, as well as in 40 normal subjects. The DBH activity was significantly higher in the migraine patients (46.5+/4.5 units) than in the controls (24.9+/2.4 units), whereas no significant difference was observed between the patients with muscle contraction headache (29.4+/4.5 units) and the controls.

D013564 Sympathetic Nervous System The thoracolumbar division of the autonomic nervous system. Sympathetic preganglionic fibers originate in neurons of the intermediolateral column of the spinal cord and project to the paravertebral and prevertebral ganglia, which in turn project to target organs. The sympathetic nervous system mediates the body's response to stressful situations, i.e., the fight or flight reactions. It often acts reciprocally to the parasympathetic system.
