Abstract

Objectıve: The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of the relationships between serum Fe, Cu, Zn levels, Cu / Zn ratio and parameters related to migraine pathogenesis in the development of migraine disease.

Material and Methods: Serum Fe, Cu and Zn trace element levels were determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometer method.

Results: Serum Cu levels (p<0.001), serum Zn levels (p=0.019) were determined significantly higher in the migraine patient group than control group. In our study, it was determined that strong negative correlation between serum Zn value and Cu / Zn value (r= -0.755; p<0.001).

Conclusion: In our study, it was determined that disorders in serum Fe, Cu and Zn homeostasis may be effective in the development of migraine. Thus, it is very important to evaluate together serum Fe, Cu, Zn levels in the pathogenesis of migraine and the parameters related to the mechanisms that may contribute to the development of migraine in order to obtain important biomarkers for the diagnosis and treatment of migraine.
