METABOLIC PROFILE CHANGES IN SERUM OF MIGRAINE PATIENTS DETECTED USING 1H-NMR SPECTROSCOPY 37 2 for all 22 signals. The regression showed support for association between the signal data and active migraine status (OR = 2.72; 95% CI 2.09 - 3.54; p = 1.35 x 10-13) explaining 8.5% of the variance, this association remained after correction for sex, age, BMI and current smoking status (OR = 1.84; 95% CI 1.34 - 2.53; p = 1.64 x 10-4) with a total explained variance of 12.3% (Nagelkerke R2). Hosmer and Lemeshow shows a good fit of the final model (p = 0.688). The outcome of our ANOVA analysis (p = 7.1 x 10-5) added to the evidence for involvement of these metabolites in active migraine patients. The majority of the 22 signals have been annotated to metabolites, but four remained unknown (Table 2). The known metabolites that were relevant to distinguish metabolic profile of migraine patients from controls were cholesterol, isoleucine, leucine, lipids (CH2 and CH*2CH=CH), acetate, pyruvate, methionine, dimethylglycine, 1,5-anhydrosorbitol, valine, myoinositol, glucose, serine, creatinine, and proline. Our data suggests that there is a metabolic profile for active migraine that distinguishes them from controls even after correcting for age, sex, BMI and smoking status. Remarkable is that five of the six signals predictive for lifetime migraine status are also predictive for active migraine status (Table 2).
