The naturally occurring GIP(1-30)NH2 is a GIP receptor agonist in humans

Eur J EndocrinolPublished Randomised crossover study

Authors' conclusion

GIP(1-30)NH2 has similar effects on glucose and bone metabolism in healthy individuals and in human islets in vitro as GIP(1-42).

Study context

Population
Healthy men; and isolated human pancreatic isletscrossover
Participants
9 men
Comparison
GIPNH2 vs GIP vs saline
Methodological detailsthree-step glucose clamps, randomised order, in vitro human islet experiments
  • Three-step glucose clamps
  • Randomised order
  • In vitro human islet experiments

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Glucose and bone metabolism
  • Compared to placebo, GIP(1-30)NH2 had similar glucagonotropic, insulinotropic and CTX-suppressing effects as GIP(1-42)
  • In human islets in vitro, similar insulinotropic and glucagonotropic effects of the two GIP variants

Further findings

Glucose infused to obtain PG at FPG, 1.5× FPG and 2× FPG — between GIP(1-42) and Saline · across the three days

P = 0.18

Glucose infused to obtain plasma glucose (PG) at fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 1.5× FPG and 2× FPG

PG levels similar on the three experimental days
