Does fructose have a protective role on migraine?—experimental evidence in a rat model of metabolic syndrome under omega-3 supplementation Open
HFD relieved NTG-induced pain, possibly due to decreased energy expenditure, minimizing migraine energy needs. N-3 exhibited favorable effects regarding affective behavior and central and peripheral inflammation, irrespective of HFD.
