Abstract
The serum or plasma concentrations of gastrin, gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP), gut glucagon-like-immunoreactivity (gut GLI), secretin, vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), insulin, glucagon, and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) were recorded simultaneously following the ingestion of a normal, mixed meal in seven healthy, normal weight men. The concentrations of PP and gastrin increased within 10 min. Subsequently GIP, insulin, glucagon, and gut GLI increased in the order mentioned. The mean concentrations of secretin and VIP were not affected by the meal, although transient decreases in secretin concentrations could be detected in all subjects. The concentrations of the other hormones remained elevated for 4 hr or more. Perhaps the period of observation following food stimulation of gastroentero-pancreatic hormones should be extended.
