Insulin secretion in migraine: influence on the blood levels of tryptophan.

The blood levels of free tryptophan, glucose and insulin were determined in different groups of patients suffering from headache, initially and after a glucose tolerance and a tolbutamide tolerance test. The control group consisted of subjects without neurological or psychiatric disturbance. A sharp drop of blood tryptophan levels was observed in migraine patients during the tolbutamide tolerance. Migraine attacks may be induced in certain subjects by a disturbance of 5-hydroxytryptamine turnover.

A case of late onset lipid storage myopathy. Electromyographic, histochemical and ultrastructural findings.

A 65-year-old woman showed the clinical picture of a myogenic myopathy, confirmed electromyographically. Detailed histopathological, histochemical and ultrastructural studies were performed on deltoid and quadriceps femoris biopsy specimens. Many muscle fibres were found to contain vacuolar spaces with lipid droplets: perivascular inflammatory changes were also observed. The affected fibres were consistently type I. Under the electron microscope the fibres contained large numbers of lipid droplets, usually next to normal mitochondria. A slight improvement occurred after prednisone therapy.
