Study objectives1. Are both GIP and GLP-1 necessary for optimal insulin secretion in healthy and diabetic subjects?
2. Do both GIP and GLP-1 have an effect on energy balance and appetite?

Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedNutritional, Metabolic, Endocrine: Diabetes
InterventionAt the baseline assessment visit, eligibility will be confirmed, subjects will be weighed, height recorded, and waist circumference measured. Body composition will be measured by electrical bio impedance (Tanita 310). Thereafter, 4 half day studies are required for measurements of insulin secretion during infusion of GLP-1 alone, GIP alone, GLP-1 and GIP together and placebo. Because GLP-1 and GIP augment glucose-stimulated insulin secretion will be determined in response to co-infusion of 10% glucose during each experiment by serial blood sampling. Throughout these experiments, resting metabolic rate will be measured at baseline and then hourly (for postprandial thermogenesis) by indirect calorimetry, using the Deltatrack II system. Effects on hunger and satiety will be determined from concomitant visual analogue hunger scores taken at baseline and then hourly. Ad libitum food intake will be assessed with test meal at lunchtime. The studies will be completed once lunch is consumed. A total of 48 studies will be undertaken. GLP-1/GIP peptides: GLP-1 and GIP has been obtained from Polypeptide Laboratories (Germany) and sterile-filtered by Stockport Pharmaceuticals (Stebbing Hill Hospital, Stockport). In preliminary work with synthetic peptides in non diabetic subjects we have found infusion of GLP-1 at rates of 1pmol/kg/min to be well tolerated without side effects, and to result in highly significant and sustained elevations in plasma insulin and C peptide concentrations. Steady states of insulin are reached after 60 minutes of infusion at this rate. Glucose profiles in plasma were maintained in the euglycaemic range during the combined infusion of dextrose and GLP-1 (unpublished).

Participant type(s)Patient
Age groupAdult
SexMale
Target number of participants6
Key inclusion criteriaObese male subjects between age 20-60 years will be recruited by advertisement and by invitation of eligible patients who have already undergone glucose tolerance testing. This is a pilot study and will involve the following groups. 6 lean (BMI 20-25 kg/m2) subjects with normal glucose tolerance and 6 obese (BMI >30 kg/m2) type-2 diabetic patients on treatment with diet alone. Eligible subjects will be asked to provide informed written consent, and studies will be undertaken in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.
Key exclusion criteriaAny co-morbid conditions requiring drug therapy that cannot be discontinued, any regular drug treatment that cannot be discontinued, any diseases of the heart, lungs, liver, gut or endocrine glands, alcoholism, eating disorder, and for the diabetic group - poorly controlled diabetes (defined as HbAlc >8.0% for the purposes of this study)
