LRP1 helps clear out cellular waste, including beta amyloid from the brain. At least three variants of the LRP1 gene have been associated with migraines.
Somethings that may help with this include: magnesium, coffee (moderate amount) and Astaxanthin-Rich Foods,
Astaxanthin is a red pigment found in some fish, seafood, and algae. It is responsible for the red color of trout, salmon, shrimp, and crabs, among others [R].
This pigment has been found to increase the expression of LRP1 and thereby protect brain cells from inflammatory damage in a laboratory setting [R].
While astaxanthin’s effects on migraine, specifically, are unknown, it has been studied for its ability to suppress pain [R, R, R].
Astaxanthin is also a fairly strong anti-inflammatory compound and may help reduce the sensation of pain in that way [R].
