1 Plasma GIP concentration increased significantly with enteral glucose administration in all infants but remained unchanged with parenteral glucose infusion. Glucose gastric inhibitory polypeptide Homo sapiens
2 However, when glucose was infused orogastrically at a lower rate (8 mg/kg/min), plasma GIP concentrations rose, but no enhancement of insulin response was detected, suggesting the importance of the role of circulating glucose in the "enteroinsular axis". Glucose gastric inhibitory polypeptide Homo sapiens
3 These findings suggest that, at term gestation, the newborn infants have a "functional" enteroinsular axis in response to glucose, i.e. the rising plasma GIP contributed in part to the enhanced insulin response to enterally infused glucose. Glucose gastric inhibitory polypeptide Homo sapiens
