Introduction: Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP) induces the cytokine interleukin (IL)-6 in adipocytes. IL-6 enhances insulin secretion from β-cells via L- and α-cell-derived GLP-1.Therefore we hypothesized that GIP regulates Glucagon-like peptide (GLP)-1 as well as glucose control via IL-6.Methods/Design: Basic research study on isolated human and mouse pancreatic islets and FACS-sorted human α-and β-cells that were treat...
