Interaction of Fat-stimulated Gastric Inhibitory Polypeptide on Pancreatic Alpha and Beta Cell Function

AUTOR(ES)
RESUMO

Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) is considered to be the principal mediator of the enteroinsular axis. A glucose-insulin clamp technique was used to study the effects of differing blood glucose levels on the insulinotropic and glucagonotropic actions of fat-stimulated GIP in seven healthy subjects, as well as the effect of physiologic hyperinsulinemia on GIP secretion. Blood glucose levels were clamped for 4 h at 43±2 mg/dl (hypoglycemic clamp), 88±1 mg/dl (euglycemic clamp), and 141±2 mg/dl (hyperglycemic clamp) in the presence of a constant insulin infusion (100 m U/kg per h).
