Which of the following substances is secreted in response to an oral glucose load? A. Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide B. Vasoactive Intestinal Peptide C. Secretin D. Gastrin E. Cholecystokinin
Awhat does VIP do?- It is a potent vasodilator, regulates smooth muscle activity, epithelial cell secretion, and blood flow in the gastrointestinal tract
The substance that is secreted in response to an oral glucose load is A. Glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide (GIP). GIP is a hormone that is secreted by the small intestine in response to glucose and fat. Its release is stimulated by the presence of nutrients in the digestive tract, especially glucose. GIP acts on the pancreas to stimulate the release of insulin, which increases glucose uptake by cells throughout the body, thus lowering the level of glucose in the bloodstream.
