Glutathione as a Biomarker in Parkinson’s Disease: Associations with Aging and Disease Severity

Table 3

High versus low blood Glu concentrations in PD. In order to evaluate whether blood Glu may be associated with rate of progression, regression analysis is adjusted for age and years since PD diagnosis.
