title: Tyramine sulfoconjugation in relation to depression in migraine. A pilot study.
abstract: Tyramine sulfoconjugation following an oral tyramine load was determined in 30 patients suffering from migraine and 14 controls not regularly suffering from headache. Reduced tyramine sulfoconjugation was found in those patients with a history of major depressive disorder compared with controls. When the patients with a history of major depression were removed from the analysis, no differences were found between diet-sensitive and non-diet sensitive migraine patients and controls.
