An Oxidative Stress Marker in Pediatric Migraine Patients: Dynamic Thiol-Disulfide Homeostasis

Abstract

Objective: Migraine is a common disease in childhood. Oxidative stress has been implicated in the pathogenesis of migraine. Dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis is proven to be a marker of oxidative stress. We aimed to investigate the correlation between migraine and dynamic thiol/disulfide homeostasis.

Material and Methods: A total of 141 children (71 migrain and 70 controls) were included. The serum total thiol, native thiol, and disulfide levels were measured and the ratios of disulfide/native thiol, disulfide/total thiol and native thiol/total thiol were compared between migraine patients and healthy children during attack-free period.

Results: Native thiol levels and native thiol/total thiol ratio were significantly lower in the migraine group than the control group (p=0.022, p=0.005, respectively); whereas disulfide levels, disulfide/native thiol and disulfide/total thiol ratios were significantly higher in the migraine group than the control group (p=0.039, p=0.022, p=0.005 respectively).

Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that there is an ongoing oxidative process in pediatric migraineurs even during attack-free period. This result may shed light on further studies analyzing dynamic changes in the oxidant-antioxidant balance during the attack and the aura phase to support the presence and importance of oxidative stress in pediatric migraine.

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.


Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.


The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
