Abstract

ConclusionAlthough type 2 diabetic patients exhibit resistance to GIP when the peptide is administered in doses that result in circulating levels approximating those found physiologically, it is likely that DP IV-resistant forms of the peptide administered in pharmacological doses will prove to be effective in improving glucose tolerance. Additionally, in view of recent studies showing that GIP receptor knockout mice are resistant to diet induced obesity25, it is possible that GIP-antagonists will prove useful in obesity treatment.
