Description: Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is a major physiologic factor in the augmentation of the insulin response to oral glucose. GIP is a peptide hormone that is released postprandially from the small intestine and acts in concert with glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 to potentiate glucoseinduced insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta-cell. GIP has been shown to increase adenylyl cyclase activity, elevate intracellular calcium levels, and stimulate a mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway in the pancreatic beta-cell. Additionally, nutrient protein provides a potent stimulus for GIP expression, an effect that occurs at the posttranslational level and may be mediated in part through the acid-stimulatory properties of protein. GIP release is demonstrated predominantly after ingestion of carbohydrate and fat and the effects of acid on GIP are consistent with a role for GIP as an enterogastrone.
