Mitochondrial function and oxidative stress markers in higher-frequency episodic migraine

Gross et al. | Scientific Reports | 2021

Dr. Elena Gross and colleagues examined energy-metabolism and oxidative-stress markers in 32 people with higher-frequency episodic migraine. They identified several values outside reference ranges, including low alpha-lipoic acid and differences in antioxidant markers. These findings add to research exploring the metabolic dimensions of migraine and potential targets for future investigation. The study was observational, had no matched control group, and did not establish that these markers predict migraine severity or treatment response.
