This study evaluates biochemical and metabolic imbalances that may result in a collection of dysfunctional pathways that are distinct in migraineurs. The high sensitivity and spectral dispersion available to ¹H MRS at 21.1 T expanded metabolic profiling in an animal model of migraine to include total creatine (tCr), choline (Cho), N-acetyl-aspartate (NAA), myoinositol (mI), lactate (Lac), taurine (Tau), aspartate (Asp), Glx, a mixture of glutamate, glutamine and GABA, and Gly, the latter identified as a mixture of glycine, glutamine, and glutamate. For the migraine analogue, Lac, Gly and Tau increased while tCr decreased temporally and in comparison to saline controls.
