Impact of Magnesium on Oxytocin Receptor Function.
Authors
PMID: 35631690.
Abstract
The intranasal administration of oxytocin (OT) reduces migraine headaches through activation of the oxytocin receptor (OTR). Magnesium ion (Mg concentration is critical to the activation of the OTR, and a low serum Mg concentration is predictive of a migraine headache. We, therefore, examined the functional impact of Mg concentration on OT-OTR binding efficacy using two complimentary bioassays.
