Objectives: to define predictors of gastric emptying (GE) rate in patients with idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease (PD) of a solid and liquid meal. Methods: For measurement of GE 40 patients with PD were given a solid meal (250 kcal) containing 100mg 13C-octanoate as well as 40 patients were given a liquid meal (350ml, 315 kcal) with 100mg 13C-acetate. Patients in both groups were off medication affecting gastric motility and were matched for age, gender, BMI, disease duration and severity, using Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS); (men: 64 vs. 69%; age: 63±10 vs. 65±9 yrs; BMI: 25.5±4.6 vs. 26.4±3.7kg…
