Brief Summary:
Small exploratory open-label pilot study to assess the short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) prodrug tributyrin as a potential therapy for persons with Parkinson disease
Detailed Description:
The overarching goal of this small exploratory open-label pilot study is to explore metabolic (glucose metabolism, butyrate) and cognition (MoCa) before and after open-label treatment with the short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) prodrug tributyrin in a small pilot study in PD and normal control older adults. Positive findings in this small exploratory pilot trial may support target engagement study of SCFA supplementation in normal adults and PD.
