How is the gastric stimulator implanted? If your doctor decides you are a good candidate for gastric electrical stimulation, you will be referred to a surgeon. The minimally invasive implanted treatment option takes one to two hours under general anesthesia. While you are asleep, your surgeon will place the gastric stimulator under the skin of the abdomen and connect the two wires to your stomach muscles.

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.
