title: Response of gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) to oral administration of nutrients in normal and pancreatectomized dogs.
abstract: In order to clarify the response of plasma gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) to various nutrients and to investigate the relationship between the pancreas and GIP secretion, an experimental study was performed using normal and pancreatectomized dogs. Oral administration of glucose (2 g/kg) or butter (2 g/kg) resulted in an increase of plasma GIP in five normal dogs. In contrast, oral administration of arginine (1 g/kg) did not produce any discernible changes in plasma GIP in normal dogs. In a group of nine pancreatectomized dogs, the fasting level of plasma GIP did not differ from that of the control group. Furthermore, glucose ingestion in the pancreatectomized group resulted in the same pattern and the same degree of change in plasma GIP as it did in the normal controls. In contrast, plasma GIP did not change at all following fat loading in the pancreatectomized group. However, butter with pancreatic enzymes elicited a significant rise of plasma GIP in the pancreatectomized dogs. The present study indicates that plasma GIP increases following oral administration of glucose or fat but not arginine. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that GIP secretion following fat ingestion occurs only after fat digestion by pancreatic enzymes. In addition, the findings observed in the present study do not support the existence of feedback effect of insulin on GIP secretion.
