Abstract excerpt
Serotonin (5-HT) plays an important role in the pathophysiology of migraine. Tryptophan hydroxylase 2 (TPH2) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of 5-HT in the brain and is therefore a major factor in the availability of 5-HT and its rate of production. We hypothesized that functional...
