Nitroglycerin (NTG) Model

The NTG model stands as a cornerstone in preclinical research, particularly for its utility in neuroscience and cardiovascular studies. Its foundation lies in NTG's role as a potent nitric oxide (NO) donor, which mediates a cascade of physiological effects.

Precision in Migraine Research

For decades, NTG has been the gold standard for inducing migraine-like headaches in both clinical and preclinical settings. Its ability to trigger symptoms indistinguishable from spontaneous migraine attacks in susceptible individuals, and to elicit robust, reproducible phenotypes in rodent models, is unparalleled. The mechanism involves the release of nitric oxide, leading to vasodilation, activation of inflammatory pathways, and sensitization of pain-processing structures, particularly within the trigeminal nervous system. This is supported by the consistent observation of increased levels of migraine-related neurotransmitters like calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) following NTG administration. The model's validity is further reinforced by the fact that NTG-induced attacks can be aborted by established anti-migraine drugs such as triptans and CGRP receptor antagonists.

Our NTG-induced migraine models allow for the detailed study of:

• Nociceptive Hypersensitivity: Assessing mechanical (e.g., Von Frey), thermal (e.g., Hargreaves), and chemical allodynia.
• Behavioral Phenotypes: Quantifying grimace scales, face grooming, and anxiety-like behaviors (e.g., elevated plus maze, open field tests).
• Neuroinflammatory Responses: Analyzing cFos immunoreactivity, neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS), inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression, and the activation of key signaling pathways like NF-κB in relevant brain regions (e.g., trigeminal nucleus caudalis).
