Involvement of P2Y12 receptors in a nitroglycerin-induced model of migraine in male mice.

Our findings show that acute inhibition of P2Y12 receptors alleviates migraine-like pain in mice by modulating the expression of c-fos and that platelet P2Y12 receptors might contribute to this effect. Thus the blockade of P2Y12 receptors may have therapeutic potential against migraine.
