In previous work, the investigators analyzed the concentration of gut-derived peptides (ghrelin, pancreatic polypeptide [PP]) in serum of patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The investigators have shown that the secretion pattern differs between PD patients and controls. Beside ghrelin and pancreatic polypeptide other gut-derived peptides (e.g. Glucagon-like-Peptide 1[GLP-1], Amylin, etc.) might be relevant for PD as well. The rational to investigate gut-derived peptides in the neurological disorder Parkinson's disease (PD) is based on the following considerations:
Objective:
Collection of CSF and serum samples in a standardized way in order to quantitatively measure the concentration of gut-derived peptides (ghrelin, leptin, glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide [GIP], GLP-1, amylin, PP, peptide YY [PYY], and insulin). Scientific questions:

| CSF and serum concentration of ghrelin, leptin, GIP, GLP-1, amylin, PP, PYY, and insulin | CSF and corresponding serum samples will be collected in the fasting state in the morning. A standardized collection of the samples is crucial to avoid potential confounders (daytime, metabolic state, etc.). Samples will be frozen immediately and kept at minus 20°C until analysis. Samples will be analysed using a multiplex approach. | The outcome measure will be assessed only once, after an overnight fast between 7 and 8 AM. Study-related procedure will be performed on one singel day. There will be no follow-up. |
