The incretins are gastrointestinal polypeptide hormones that act to modulate insulin secretion from pancreatic beta cells. These hormones include glucagon-like peptide-1(GLP-1) and gastric inhibitory peptide(GIP), and they are secreted from the upper gastrointestinal tract in response to feeding.

Les incrétines sont sécrétées par le tube digestif lors de la prise d'un repas. Elles stimulent la sécrétion d'insuline par les cellules bêta du pancréas lorsque la glycémie est trop élevée (glycémie postprandiale), mais sans risque d'hypoglycémie.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
CONT

Gastric inhibitory polypeptide(GIP), also called glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide, is a 42-amino-acid peptide secreted by mucosal K cells, predominantly found in the duodenum and jejunum and to a lesser extent in the ileum and colon. GIP is released into the circulation following a mixed meal and also ingestion of glucose, fat, or amino acids. Fat ingestion appears to be a more potent stimulator of GIP secretion than carbohydrate in humans.
