Differences between PACAP-38 levels in different ESS stages of PD patients. PACAP-38 levels were significantly increased in the ESS-4 group compared to those in the ESS-1 and ESS-2 group. The boxes show the interquartile ranges, and the whiskers indicate the 25% and 75% percentile; outliers are also plotted with numbered data points labeled with circles and asterisk. The middle line within the boxes represents the median values. One-way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test, * p < 0.05, p = 0.020 ESS-1 vs. ESS-4, p = 0.007 vs. ESS-4. ESS-1, normal range of sleepiness (n = 75); ESS-2, mild sleepiness (n = 15); ESS-3, moderate sleepiness (n = 10); ESS-4, severe sleepiness (n = 8)
