Abstract: A recent clinical trial found that exenatide, an antidiabeticdrug, could slow down the rate of decline in motor perfor-mance in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD).1A higherprevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) has been reported in PDpatients,2whereas an increased incidence of PD was found inpatients with DM.3–5Although these ndings suggest thatperipheral insulin resistance might be involved in PDpathogenesis,6systemic substrate metabolism and its respon-siveness to insulin stimulation have not been rigorouslyassessed before in de novo, medication-free PD patients. There-fore, using the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp technique,the most accurate and precise method available for quantifyinginsulin sensitivity, we aimed to assess whether insulin resistanceis an inherent feature of PD.
