Authors' conclusion

Physiological actions of GIP and GLP-1 were preserved in totally pancreatectomised individuals, demonstrating independency of endogenous pancreatic factors.

Study context

Population
Totally pancreatectomised individuals (5 women; mean age 58.8 ± 13.9 years; BMI 24.7 ± 5.1 kg/m²), continuing basal insulin4 meal tests each
Participants
12 participants
Comparison
IV GIP, GLP-1 and GIP+GLP-1 vs saline during mixed meal tests
Methodological detailsdouble-blind, placebo-controlled, Participants continued basal insulin but omitted other medications incl. bolus insulin from 10 p.m. the night before

Gastric emptying rate (acetaminophen absorption)

Effects of GIP were similar to placebo

Ad libitum food intake

GIP+GLP-1 similar to GLP-1 infusion

Postprandial bone resorption (CTX)

GLP-1 infusion did not affect bone resorption markers
