  1. Biomarkers levels of patients with migraine obtained during attacks and interictally, and age-matched controls. Continuous data are expressed as medians (first and third quartiles); nominal data are given as percentages, unless otherwise indicated. P-value was assessed with a Kruskal-Wallis test between all groups. a n-1 (one sample each was measured below the LOD)
