Liu QW, Mao CJ, Lu ZH, Shi RF, Zhang YC, Zhao P, Liu CF. Sarcopenia is associated with non-motor symptoms in Han Chinese patients with Parkinson's Disease: a cross-sectional study. BMC Geriatr 2023; 23:494. [PMID: 37587447 PMCID: PMC10428605 DOI: 10.1186/s12877-023-04188-3] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/04/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2023] [Indexed: 08/18/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Sarcopenia is commonly seen in the older adults and increases in incidence with age, also in Parkinson's disease (PD). Although research has indicated that the development of sarcopenia in patients with PD may be related to both motor symptoms and non-motor symptoms (NMS), the precise relationship between the two conditions remains unclear. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the incidence of sarcopenia in patients with PD and its association with NMS. METHODS The study included 123 patients with PD and 38 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HC). All participants were evaluated for sarcopenia using the 2019 Asian Sarcopenia Diagnostic Criteria, and patients with PD underwent standard assessments of motor symptoms and NMS. Multiple logistic regression and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were used to examine the association between sarcopenia and NMS in patients with PD. RESULTS The incidence of sarcopenia was significantly higher in patients with PD than in HC (26.8% vs. 10.4%, p = 0.046). Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that poorer sleep quality (odds ratio [OR]: 1.245; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.011-1.533; p = 0.040) and fatigue (OR: 1.085, 95% CI: 1.006-1.170, p = 0.034) were independently associated with sarcopenia. ROC analysis indicated that the optimal cut-off value for Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores was 10, with 72.7% sensitivity and 74.4% specificity (area under the curve [AUC] = 0.776, 95% CI: 0.683-0.868, p < 0.001). The optimal cut-off value for Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) scores was 39, with 87% sensitivity and 50% specificity (AUC = 0.725, 95% CI: 0.629 -0.820, p < 0.001). Joint use of FSS and PSQI scores increased the predictive value for sarcopenia(AUC = 0.804, 95% CI: 0.724-0.885, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION Patients with PD are more susceptible to sarcopenia than healthy older adults, and fatigue and poorer sleep are positively associated with sarcopenia. Further longitudinal studies are needed to clarify the causal relationships.

Abstract
We performed liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry analysis with the targeted metabolomic kit Biocrates MxP Quant 500, in human brain cortex (Brodmann area 9) and putamen, to reveal metabolic changes characteristic of Parkinson's disease (PD) and PD-related cognitive decline. This case-control study involved 101 subjects (33 PD without dementia, 32 PD with dementia (cortex only), 36 controls). We found changes associated with PD, cognitive status, levodopa levels, and disease progression. The affected pathways include neurotransmitters, bile acids, homocysteine metabolism, amino acids, TCA cycle, polyamines, β-alanine metabolism, fatty acids, acylcarnitines, ceramides, phosphatidylcholines, and several microbiome-derived metabolites. Previously reported levodopa-related homocysteine accumulation in cortex still best explains the dementia status in PD, which can be modified by dietary supplementation. Further investigation is needed to reveal the exact mechanisms behind this pathological change.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases affecting elderly people. Considering the gap in the literature on melatonin and adipokine levels in PD patients at various stages of the disease, we conducted a study to investigate the levels of selected parameters in PD patients at the disease's early (ES) and advanced (AS) stages. Melatonin, leptin, adiponectin, and resistin concentrations were measured in the blood serum of 20 PD patients without dyskinesia (ES), 24 PD patients with dyskinesia (AS), and 20 healthy volunteers as a control group (CG). The data were analyzed using ANOVA. Melatonin was significantly lower in ES (p < 0.05) and higher in AS patients (p < 0.05) compared to CG. The level of leptin was increased both in ES (p < 0.001) and AS (p < 0.001) versus CG, while resistin was increased only in patients with dyskinesia (p < 0.05). Higher melatonin (p < 0.001) and resistin (p < 0.05) and lower leptin (p < 0.05) levels were found in AS versus ES. The main findings of the study include the changes in inflammatory markers' levels during PD and a surprising increase in melatonin level in dyskinesia patients. Further research is necessary, which will be aimed at modulating the secretion of melatonin and adipokines as a treatment target for PD.

Abstract
Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease and affects about 1% of the population over the age of 60 years in industrialised countries. The aim of this review is to examine nutrition in PD across three domains: dietary intake and the development of PD; whole body metabolism in PD and the effects of PD symptoms and treatment on nutritional status. In most cases, PD is believed to be caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors and although there has been much research in the area, evidence suggests that poor dietary intake is not a risk factor for the development of PD. The evidence about body weight changes in both the prodromal and symptomatic phases of PD is inconclusive and is confounded by many factors. Malnutrition in PD has been documented as has sarcopaenia, although the prevalence of the latter remains uncertain due to a lack of consensus in the definition of sarcopaenia. PD symptoms, including those which are gastrointestinal and non-gastrointestinal, are known to adversely affect nutritional status. Similarly, PD treatments can cause nausea, vomiting and constipation, all of which can adversely affect nutritional status. Given that the prevalence of PD will increase as the population ages, it is important to understand the interplay between PD, comorbidities and nutritional status. Further research may contribute to the development of interventional strategies to improve symptoms, augment care and importantly, enhance the quality of life for patients living with this complex neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The clinical symptoms and nutritional status of patients with Parkinson's disease (PwP) are interrelated, and the clinical outcomes in malnourished patients are often poor. Only a few studies have reviewed the prevalence of malnutrition and nutrition-related risk factors in PwP. OBJECTIVE To explore the prevalence of malnutrition/ malnutrition risk among PwP, and estimate nutrition-related risk factors. METHODS PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched. Literatures published between 1 January 1995 and 1 November 2020, subjects were patients with idiopathic PD underwent Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) were included. RESULT Sixteen articles, including 1650 PwP from 13 countries/regions, were included in the meta-analysis. The prevalence of malnutrition and malnutrition risk were 8.8% (Confidence interval [CI] 95%, 5.3%-12.2%) and 35.3% (CI 95%, 29.0%-41.7%), and the prevalence of nutritional disorders was 42.3% (CI 95%, 33.7%-51%). The prevalence of malnutrition in developing countries was higher than that in the developed countries. Meta-analysis reveals there were significant differences in the course of the disease (0.88 years; 95% CI, 0.26-1.50), levodopa equivalent daily dose (LEDD; 60.77 mg/day; 95% CI, 2.7-118.8), Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) staging (0.323; CI 95%, 0.164-0.482), and unified Parkinson's disease rating scale (UPDRS) scores (total: 13.66, CI 95%: 10.57-16.75 and part III: 5.52, CI 95%: 3.79-7.25) between normal and nutritional disorder groups. CONCLUSIONS Malnutrition/malnutrition risk prevalence in PwP are high. The duration of the disease, LEDD, H&Y staging, and UPDRS score (part III and total) may be nutrition-related risk factors in PwP.

Abstract
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease associated with progressive impairment of motor and non-motor functions in aging people. Overwhelming evidence indicate that mitochondrial dysfunction is a central factor in PD pathophysiology, which impairs energy metabolism. While, several other studies have shown probiotic supplementations to improve host energy metabolism, alleviate the disease progression, prevent gut microbiota dysbiosis and alter commensal bacterial metabolites. But, whether probiotic and/or prebiotic supplementation can affect energy metabolism and cause the impediment of PD progression remains poorly characterized. Therefore, we investigated 8-weeks supplementation effects of probiotic [Lactobacillus salivarius subsp. salicinius AP-32 (AP-32)], residual medium (RM) obtained from the AP-32 culture medium, and combination of AP-32 and RM (A-RM) on unilateral 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA)-induced PD rats. We found that AP-32, RM and A-RM supplementation induced neuroprotective effects on dopaminergic neurons along with improved motor functions in PD rats. These effects were accompanied by significant increases in mitochondrial activities in the brain and muscle, antioxidative enzymes level in serum, and altered SCFAs profile in fecal samples. Importantly, the AP-32 supplement restored muscle mass along with improved motor function in PD rats, and produced the best results among the supplements. Our results demonstrate that probiotic AP-32 and A-RM supplementations can recover energy metabolism via increasing SCFAs producing and mitochondria function. This restoring of mitochondrial function in the brain and muscles with improved energy metabolism might additionally be potentiated by ROS suppression by the elevated generation of antioxidants, and which finally leads to facilitated recovery of 6-OHDA-induced motor deficit. Taken together, this work demonstrates that probiotic AP-32 supplementation could be a potential candidate for alternate treatment strategy to avert PD progression.

Abstract
Background: Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation (STN-DBS) is a valuable alternative to pharmacotherapy alone in an advanced Parkinson's disease (PD). Given the growing number of patients with STN-DBS, its impact on the comorbidities should be considered. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of bilateral STN-DBS on the lipid profile in patients with PD. Methods: Three groups of parkinsonian patients were included: 20 treated pharmacologically–PHT group, 20 newly qualified for STN-DBS–DBS group, and 14 postoperative patients (median 30 months after surgery)–POP group. Plasma concentrations of the total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), triglycerides (TG), and body weight were measured thrice in 9 ± 2 month intervals. Results: A significant increase in the LDL-C concentration is observed early after surgery in the DBS group (11.4 mg/dl, P < 0.01) followed by adverse changes in the HDL-C (−7.7 mg/dl, P = 0.01) and TG (14.1 mg/dl, P = 0.05) plasma levels. In the POP group, the average level of TC at the first visit was significantly higher (P < 0.01) than in the other groups and the TG level was higher than in the PHT group during the follow-up (P < 0.01). A strong positive correlation with body weight alteration after surgery was observed only for long-term changes in the TG levels. Conclusions: Our data indicate that STN-DBS may negatively affect the cardiometabolic profile of patients. Similarly to body weight gain, an increase in the LDL-C concentration occurred early after surgery while adverse changes in the HDL-C and TG plasma levels were more gradual.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pathogenesis in a subgroup of sarcopenic patients seems to be based on a reduced number of motor neurons. This study aimed at investigating the overlap between sarcopenia and neurodegeneration, as reflected by a low number of motor neurons in patients with Parkinsonian syndromes (PS). METHODS The motor unit number index (MUNIX) of the hypothenar muscle was used to assess the number and size (MUSIX) of motor units (MUs) in patients with idiopathic Parkinson disease (iPD, n = 53), patients with atypical Parkinsonian syndrome (aPS, n = 21), and a control group (n = 30). Mean age of participants was 70.3 years and 54.1% were female. Skeletal muscle mass by bioelectrical impedance analysis, hand-grip strength and gait speed were measured. Based on these assessments, sarcopenia was diagnosed according to the criteria of the European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People. RESULTS Sarcopenia criteria were met by 10 patients with PS (13.5%). The study group had significantly lower MUNIX values than the control group (109 [SD ±39.1] vs. 129 [SD ±45.1]; p = 0.020) even after adjustment for age and sex. Three of the 5 sarcopenic iPD patients (75%) had pathological low MUNIX values (<80). DISCUSSION/CONCLUSION Sarcopenia is a frequent comorbidity in PS. The pathologically low MUNIX values found in 75% of our sarcopenic iPD patients provides further support for the existence of a neurodegenerative overlap syndrome with a reduced number of MUs potentially leading to sarcopenia. This finding warrants further evaluation.

Abstract
Although many experimental studies have shown the favorable effects of zonisamide on mitochondria using models of Parkinson’s disease (PD), the influence of zonisamide on metabolism in PD patients remains unclear. To assess metabolic status under zonisamide treatment in PD, we performed a pilot study using a comprehensive metabolome analysis. Plasma samples were collected for at least one year from 30 patients with PD: 10 without zonisamide medication and 20 with zonisamide medication. We performed comprehensive metabolome analyses of plasma with capillary electrophoresis time-of-flight mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry. We also measured disease severity using Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) staging and the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) motor section, and analyzed blood chemistry. In PD with zonisamide treatment, 15 long-chain acylcarnitines (LCACs) tended to be increased, of which four (AC(12:0), AC(12:1)-1, AC(16:1), and AC(16:2)) showed statistical significance. Of these, two LCACs (AC(16:1) and AC(16:2)) were also identified by partial least squares analysis. There was no association of any LCAC with age, disease severity, levodopa daily dose, or levodopa equivalent dose. Because an upregulation of LCACs implies improvement of mitochondrial β-oxidation, zonisamide might be beneficial for mitochondrial β-oxidation, which is suppressed in PD.

Abstract
Parkinson's Disease (PD) is currently considered a systemic neurodegenerative disease manifested with not only motor but also non-motor symptoms. In particular, weight loss and malnutrition, a set of frequently neglected non-motor symptoms, are indeed negatively associated with the life quality of PD patients. Moreover, comorbidity of weight loss and malnutrition may impact disease progression, giving rise to dyskinesia, cognitive decline and orthostatic hypotension, and even resulting in disability and mortality. Nevertheless, the underlying mechanism of weight loss and malnutrition in PD remains obscure and possibly involving multitudinous, exogenous or endogenous, factors. What is more, there still does not exist any weight loss and malnutrition appraision standards and management strategies. Given this, here in this review, we elaborate the weight loss and malnutrition study status in PD and summarize potential determinants and mechanisms as well. In conclusion, we present current knowledge and future prospects of weight loss and malnutrition in the context of PD, aiming to appeal clinicians and researchers to pay a closer attention to this phenomena and enable better management and therapeutic strategies in future clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Peripheral neuropathy (PN) is a significant concern and potential cause of withdrawal in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) treated with Levodopa/Carbidopa Intestinal Gel (LCIG) infusion. Vitamin B deficiency and/or hyperhomocysteinemia levodopa-related are considered possible causative factors. In this study, we evaluated PN incidence in LCIG-PD patients treated since the beginning of infusion with vitamins B supplementation. MATERIALS & METHODS In this prospective open-label pilot study, 30 consecutive patients with PD on LCIG infusion were evaluated with clinical, neurophysiological, and biochemical assessments for a mean follow-up of 42.4 months (range 24-72). All evaluations were repeated every 6 months. RESULTS At baseline, 21 of 30 presented no signs or symptoms of PN, and 9 of 30 had pre-existing chronic PN. In whole population, a progressive worsening in nerve conduction studies of sural sensory and peroneal motor nerves was observed during the long-term follow-up. 4 of 21 patients, with normal clinical, electrophysiological assessment at baseline, developed distal symmetrical axonal polyneuropathy that remained asymptomatic during the long-term follow-up. Patients with pre-existing PN (9 of 30) showed a mild worsening of electrophysiological features during the period of observation. In none PN was cause of discontinuation of LCIG therapy. No incident cases of acute-subacute PN were documented. No correlation was found with age, sex, Levodopa dosage, duration of levodopa exposure, and homocysteine plasma levels. CONCLUSION In this consecutive series of 30 patients with PD on LCIG infusion, with early and continuous vitamins B integration, we observed a low rate (19%) of new onset peripheral polyneuropathy that remained stable after long-term follow-up. Larger studies, controlled, with blinded evaluation, are needed to confirm these findings.

Abstract
Increasing evidence shows that metabolic abnormalities in body fluids are distinguishing features of the pathophysiology of Parkinson’s disease. However, a non-invasive approach has not been established in the earliest or pre-symptomatic phases. Here, we report comprehensive double-cohort analyses of the metabolome using capillary electrophoresis/liquid chromatography mass-spectrometry. The plasma analyses identified 18 Parkinson’s disease-specific metabolites and revealed decreased levels of seven long-chain acylcarnitines in two Parkinson’s disease cohorts (n = 109, 145) compared with controls (n = 32, 45), respectively. Furthermore, statistically significant decreases in five long-chain acylcarnitines were detected in Hoehn and Yahr stage I. Likewise, decreased levels of acylcarnitine(16:0), a decreased ratio of acylcarnitine(16:0) to fatty acid(16:0), and an increased index of carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 were identified in Hoehn and Yahr stage I of both cohorts, suggesting of initial β-oxidation suppression. Receiver operating characteristic curves produced using 12–14 long-chain acylcarnitines provided a large area of under the curve, high specificity and moderate sensitivity for diagnosing Parkinson’s disease. Our data demonstrate that a primary decrement of mitochondrial β-oxidation and that 12–14 long-chain acylcarnitines decreases would be promising diagnostic biomarkers for Parkinson’s disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Malnutrition has been found in up to 24% of patients with Parkinson's disease; dopaminergic drugs might impair nutritional status. We evaluated the association of nutritional status with the use of dopaminergic agents. METHODS We analyzed data from 75 elderly patients with Parkinson's disease attending a geriatric day hospital. Nutritional status was assessed by the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA). Dopaminergic drugs were normalized for weight. RESULTS In linear regression, total levodopa (l-dopa) equivalent daily dose (LEDD) was associated with worse MNA (B = -0.14, 95% CI = -0.26--0.02; P = 0.019). This association remained significant only for l-dopa (B = -0.19, 95% CI = -0.32--0.52; P = 0.007), but not dopaminergic agent dosages. Increasing l-dopa dosages were associated with increasing probability of risk of malnutrition (P for trend = 0.049). CONCLUSIONS In our population, LEDD was associated with worse nutritional status and risk of malnutrition; this association was limited to use of l-dopa.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Previous studies have reported that patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) have a favorable cardiometabolic risk profile. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between cardiometabolic risk factors and the duration of disease. METHODS One hundred and fifty patients with PD (56.7% men) were studied, measuring body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), body fat percentage (BF%) by impedance, fasting glucose, serum lipids, and transaminases. RESULTS In sex- and age-adjusted correlation models, duration of PD was inversely related to BMI (r = -0.20; P < 0.05) and BF% (r = -0.29; P < 0.005). Using multivariable regression models (adjustments: age, gender, smoking status, levodopa dose and, alternatively, BMI, WC, or BF%), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels were positively correlated with disease duration (P < 0.01 for all). In models adjusted for WC and BF%, total HDL-cholesterol ratio was also inversely associated with duration of PD (P < 0.05 for both). No other association between biochemical variables and the duration of PD was found. Moreover, no dose-response effect of levodopa on metabolic risk factors was observed. CONCLUSIONS HDL levels and total HDL-cholesterol ratio were favorably associated with duration of PD. This factor may contribute to cardiometabolic protection in PD. The mechanisms underlying this association deserve further investigation.

Abstract
Changes in the nutritional profile of patients with Parkinson's disease have been reported before and after deep brain stimulation surgery. The major determinants of the weight variation in Parkinson's disease are not yet understood, and the mechanism seems complex. Based on the influence of the sympathetic nervous system in metabolic syndrome obesity, the intent of the present review is to consider the role of noradrenergic modulation on weight variations in Parkinson's disease. In this review the authors raise the following hypothesis: weight variation in Parkinson's disease before and after deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus could be influenced by noradrenergic interaction between the locus coeruleus, subthalamic nucleus, and hypothalamic nucleus.
