    Abstract:
    Gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) is a candidate hormone for an incretin which stimulates or potentiates insulin secretion. We elucidated that, in five patients with hyperparathyroidism, GIP and insulin responded remarkably to glucose ingestion, and that hypercalcaemia appeared to have a stimulatory effect on glucose-induced GIP release as well as on insulin release. In nine healthy subjects a 2% calcium solution was continuously infused intravenously and a hypercalcaemic state was maintained. This caused GIP to respond significantly more to glucose ingestion. In spite of GIP being considered an incretin in the normoglycaemic state, GIP does not markedly stimulate insulin secretion. However, in the hypercalcaemic state in healthy subjects, glucose-induced GIP and insulin secretion is significantly greater than in the normocalcaemic state. The potentiated response of insulin to glucose may be caused, in part, by GIP.
