Incretin dysfunction in type 2 diabetes: Clinical impact and future perspectives.
(2013) In Diabetes & Metabolism 39(3). p.195-201- Abstract
- The incretin effect refers to the augmentation of insulin secretion after oral administration of glucose compared with intravenous glucose administration at matched glucose levels. The incretin effect is largely due to the release and action on beta-cells of the gut hormones glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). This system has in recent years had considerable interest due to the success of incretin therapy as a glucose-lowering strategy in type 2 diabetes. In non-diabetic subjects, the incretin effect is responsible for 50-70% of insulin release during oral glucose administration. In type 2 diabetes patients, the incretin effect is impaired and contributes to only 20-35% of the insulin... (More)

This system has in recent years had considerable interest due to the success of incretin therapy as a glucose-lowering strategy in type 2 diabetes. In non-diabetic subjects, the incretin effect is responsible for 50-70% of insulin release during oral glucose administration. In type 2 diabetes patients, the incretin effect is impaired and contributes to only 20-35% of the insulin response to oral glucose. The reason for the defective incretin effect in type 2 diabetes has been the subject of many studies. Although the reports in the literature are mixed, most studies of GIP and GLP-1 secretory responses to oral glucose or a mixed meal have shown fairly normal results in type 2 diabetes. In contrast, the insulinotropic effects of both GIP and GLP-1 are impaired in type 2 diabetes with greater suppression of insulin secretion augmentation with GIP than with GLP-1. The suggested causes of these defects are a defective beta-cell receptor expression or post-receptor defects secondary to the diabetes milieu, defective beta-cell function in general resulting in defective incretin effect and genetic factors initiating incretin hormone resistance. Identifying the mechanisms in greater detail would be important for understanding the strengths, weaknesses and efficacy of incretin therapy in individual patients to more specifically target this glucose-lowering therapy.
