Understanding the Incretin Effect [PDF]
It is well known that the incretin effect contributes as much as half of the insulin secretory response to oral glucose load and that this effect is reduced along with worsening glucose tolerance in those with type 2 diabetes. Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) are the two primary incretin hormones secreted from ...

Lipotoxicity impairs incretin signalling [PDF]
The incretin hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide are secreted by enteroendocrine cells and augment glucose-induced insulin secretion in response to food ingestion in a glucose-dependent manner. This mechanism forms the basis for incretin-based therapies in type 2 diabetes.
