Inter-individual variation in gastric emptying is related to GLP-1 response to intraduodenal glucose exposure in health

J Clin Endocrinol MetabPublished Mechanistic study

Authors' conclusion

In healthy individuals, gastric emptying of a glucose drink is related to the magnitude of the GLP-1 response to intestinal glucose exposure.

Study context

Population
Healthy participants (20F/22 M, age: 35.1 ± 2.1 years; BMI 24.5 ± 0.6 kg/m²)
Participants
42 participants
Outcome
Relationship between gastric half-emptying time (T50) of oral glucose and GLP-1 iAUC response to intraduodenal glucose

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

T50 of oral glucose vs GLP-1 iAUC (t = 0-120 min) in response to intraduodenal glucose
