    Abstract:
    IRGIP release results from nutrient absorption, the major stimulants being fat and carbohydrate. Little is known, however, about its diurnal profile in response to serial meals. The purpose of this study was to determine the plasma IRGIP day profile in normal subjects following four isocaloric meals administered serially throughout the day. Five healthy normal weight (67-77 kg) male volunteers aged 38-49 years were investigated following a 10 hour overnight fast on two days. On each day, isocaloric non-identical test meals were consumed at 09.00, 13.00, 16.00 and 19.00 hours. Plasma glucose, insulin (IRI), IRC-peptide and IRGIP levels were measured half-hourly from 08.30 to 21.00 hours. Peak IRGIP levels occurred within 2 hours of the commencement of each meal and then decreased gradually but never returned to fasting levels. Compared with the first meal, the subsequent pre-prandial IRGIP levels were significantly higher (P less than 0.05) which was consistent for the two study days. The highest mean IRGIP levels occurred after breakfast and tea which were the meals containing the greater proportion of fat. Plasma IRGIP levels correlated (P less than 0.001) with the concentrations of both insulin and IRC-peptide. In conclusion, plasma IRGIP levels increased following ingestion of serial mixed meals but the levels did not return to fasting concentration throughout the day. There was a gradual upward trend of each subsequent pre-prandial IRGIP value. The physiological importance of this observation requires further exploration.
