Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Migraine comorbidity with obesity is not new and studies have focused on how adipose tissue-derived substances such as adipokines might be involved in the migraine pathophysiology. Quantification of the nature and magnitude of the association between each adipokine including leptin, adiponectin and resistin with migraine pathophysiology is the objective of the current study. METHODS: Using systematic reviews and meta-analyses and standardized mean difference as effect size, the levels of three adipokines, leptin, adiponectin and resistin, have been investigated in migraineur subjects in the case-control studies. RESULTS: Using random-effects models, the final analyses demonstrated the standardized mean differences of leptin, adiponectin and resistin as 0.534 (95% confidence interval, 0.169-0.898), 0.439 (95% confidence interval, 0.132-0.746) and 0.194 (95% confidence interval, -0.158-0.546), respectively. The p-value for test of significance for each pooled standardized mean difference was examined by the z-test and calculated as 0.004, 0.005 and 0.281 for leptin, adiponectin and resistin (clearly considered as statistically significant, significant and non-significant), respectively. CONCLUSION: Based on the findings, the blood levels of leptin and adiponectin, but not resistin, of the migraineurs are associated with disease pathogenesis.
