Adrenomedullins Headache Inducing Effects on Migraine Without Patients

AM is a naturally occurring peptide in the body and consists of 52 amino acids. AM belongs to the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) superfamily and has several structural, physiological and pharmacological similarities to CGRP, intermdine and amylin. In a randomized double-blind, placebo controlled cross-over design 20 migraine patients without aura recruited to receive infusion of adrenomedullin or placebo (saline).

Detailed Description

AM is a naturally occurring peptide in the body and consists of 52 amino acids. AM belongs to the calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) superfamily and has several structural, physiological and pharmacological similarities to CGRP, intermdine and amylin. In a randomized double-blind, placebo controlled cross-over design 20 migraine patients without aura recruited to receive infusion of adrenomedullin or placebo (saline).

A pilot study on healthy volunteers were conducted to determine tolerable dose of adrenomedullin to the main study.
