Dietary habits and migraine: which are the links?
No full textMany foods are important "triggers" for dietary migraine. An observed association between food consumption and migraine (termed "dietary migraine") is of respectable antiquity. Although the pathogenesis of this dietary migraine is still poorly understood, there is increasing evidence that a wide range of mechanisms are involved in a dietary migraine attack. In this paper we review these possible mechanisms involved: relase of 5-hydroxytryptamine from platelets of dietary migraine patients induced by some foods, such as red wine, reduction of enzyme termed phenolsulphotransferase, deficiency of enzyme monoamine oxidase, magnesium deficiency, high levels of blood lipids and high levels of free fatty acids induced by a fat-rich diet (under these conditions platelet aggregability, which is associated with decreased serotonin and raised prostaglandin levels, is increased). Moreover, other molecules, monosodium salt of glutamic acid (MSG), as an additive in foods, and yhydrolysed animal and vegetable protein, has been implicated in the causation of migraine. Finally, we review here that the administration of some nutrients, such as ginger, caffeine, vitamin B2, omega-3 fatty acids, may exert abortive and prophylactic effects in migraine headache
