Decreased levels of long-chain acylcarnitines were detected maximally in the early stage (H&Y stage I) of Parkinson’s disease (A,B). Levels of muscular metabolites, long-chain acylcarnitines, and long-chain FAs of each Parkinson’s disease H&Y stage in each cohort are summarized in each heat map. Abbreviations: AC = acylcarnitine; H&Y = Hoehn and Yahr stage; FA = fatty acid.
