Acute and prophylactic treatment of migraine: practical approaches and pharmacologic rationale.

abstract：:There are reports that patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) and Alzheimer's disease (AD) have reduced levels of thiolmethyltransferase (TMT) in erythrocyte membranes. TMT methylates thiols and thiocarbamates, thereby reducing their toxicity. We examined TMT levels in erythrocytes from patients with PD and AD and fro...
