Aims: DPP-4 (dipeptidyl peptidase-4) inhibition has been reported to increase incretin effects of GIP as well as GLP-1 by prolonging their half life. DPP-4 cleaves GIP into dipeptide and the GIP metabolite GIP (3–42), whereas the GLP-1 (7–36) amide is cleaved to GLP-1 (9–36) amide. Based on studies in man, pig and rat, these peptides are involved in various glucoregulatory processes. We have recently developed a test to differentiate the insulinotropic effects of both peptides in rats. In the present study, we compared the insulinotropic effects of the intact GIP and the GLP-1 (7–36) amide during IVGTT following…
