Core Tip	Patients with migraine without aura studied in the interictal period are characterized by impaired ability of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) to relax in response to nitric oxide and to contract in response to norepinephrine. We hypothesize that the two defects compensate for each other and this provides for the maintenance of normal vascular resistance and blood pressure homeostasis. In contrast, during the headache attack, the VSMCs regain their ability to respond to nitric oxide, but remain unresponsive to norepinephrine. Such differential effect of the migraine attack is not surprising, given that nitric oxide and norepinephrine activate different intracellular signaling pathways in VSMCs.
