CSF Mitochondrial DNA: Biomarker of Body Composition and Energy Metabolism in Parkinson's Disease
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cell‐free mitochondrial DNA (cf‐mtDNA) is a potential biomarker for Parkinson's disease (PD), but its clinical relevance remains unclear. We investigated associations between CSF cf‐mtDNA levels, body composition, nutritional status, and metabolic biomarkers in PD. Methods CSF cf‐mtDNA levels, defined as the
