The pathophysiological factors involved in abnormal CGRP release in the trigeminovascular system during migraine. Pro-inflammatory cytokines and NO can enhance CGRP expression during migraine. Their secretion may result from (1) the local inflammation at the end of C-fiber and (2) satellite glial cells within TG. (3) 5-HT signaling and (4) melatonin signaling can down-regulate CGRP expression. (A higher resolution / colour version of this figure is available in the electronic copy of the article).
