title: Inhibition of actions of glucagon in adipocytes by gastric inhibitory polypeptide.
abstract: Possible interactions between gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon were investigated in rat adipocytes. GIP was nonlipolytic and inhibited lipolysis stimulated by glucagon but not that stimulated by secretin or vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP). GIP competed with 125I-glucagon for binding to adipocyte receptors, and at physiologic concentrations inhibited the stimulation of AMP produced by glucagon. Thus GIP acts as an inhibitor of actions of glucagon on adipocytes and may be a physiologic modulator of effects of glucagon.
