Hello, I am the body’s own intestinal hormone GIP! I’m busy in the human body all day long and largely responsible for the incretin effect in people with healthy metabolism.1 Thus, I also play a role in blood sugar control.1
Are you wondering what exactly I’m doing and which tasks I still have on my to-do list? I would like to tell you in the video interview:

An old acquaintance returns: the incretin hormone GIP GIP has long been known to trigger the incretin effect. However, preclinical study data now indicate that GIP may also play a role in the regulation of other metabolic factors. Learn more regarding GIP, its function and what an attenuated incretin effect can mean for people with type 2 diabetes in this article. “Here” |

An old acquaintance returns: GIP and lipid metabolisml Preclinical and clinical data already indicate a potential influence of GIP on glucose metabolism. Further preclinical research suggests that GIP may also play a role in lipid metabolism. The incretin hormone might, among other things, be involved in the regulation of the triglyceride level and contribute to the improvement of the lipid metabolism. You can find out more regarding this from Dr. Juan Frias in the short video in this post. “Here” |

Pulling together – the interaction of the intestinal hormones GIP and GLP-1 GIP and GLP-1 are team players: hand in hand, they control postprandial insulin release in the body and are responsible for the incretin effect. In this article, learn more regarding the fine interaction between the two intestinal hormones and the importance of being overweight as a risk factor for type 2 diabetes.
