Resumo

Glucosedependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is an incretin hormone secreted by endocrine Kcells in response to nutrient absorption. In this study we have utilized a specific and enzymatically stable GIP receptor antagonist, (Pro(3))GIP, to evaluate the contribution of endogenous GIP to insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis in mice. Daily injection of (Pro(3))GIP (25 nmol/kg body weight) for 11 days had no effect on food intake or body weight. Nonfasting plasma glucose concentrations were significantly raised (p
