Gastric inhibitory polypeptide, GIP, Incretin hormone.
Introduction
Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide (GIP) which is a significant hormone of the enteroinsular axis has a functional profile of possible therapeutic value for type 2 diabetes. GIP is an important incretin hormone released into the circulation from endocrine K-cells of the duodenum and jejunum after ingestion of food1. GIP was evaluated for?his ability to elevate cellular cAMP production. GIP promotes plasma triglyceride clearance in response to oral fat loading.
