Abstract

GIP is an important insulinotropic hormone (incretin) that has also been implicated in fat metabolism. There is controversy regarding the actions of GIP on adipocytes. In the current study, the existence of GIP receptors and effects of GIP on lipolysis were studied in differentiated 3T3-L1 cells. GIP receptor messenger RNA was detected by RT-PCR and RNase protection assay. Receptors were detected in binding studies (IC50 26.7 +/- 0.7 nM). GIP stimulated glycerol release with an EC50 of 3.28 +/- 0.63 nM. GIP (10(-9)-10(-7) M) +/- IBMX increased cAMP production by 1180-2246%. The adenylyl cyclase inhibitor MDL 12330A (10(-4) M) inhibited GIP-induced glycerol production by >90%, and reduced cAMP responses to basal. Preincubation of 3T3-L1 cells with insulin inhibited glycerol responses to GIP, and the inhibitory effect of insulin was blocked by the phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase inhibitor, wortmannin. It is concluded that GIP stimulates glycerol release in 3T3-L1 cells primarily via stimulation of cAMP production, and that insulin antagonizes GIP-induced lipolysis in a wortmannin-sensitive fashion. It is suggested that effects of GIP on fat metabolism in vivo may depend upon the circulating insulin level, and that meal-released GIP may elevate circulating fatty acids, thus optimizing pancreatic beta-cell responsiveness to stimulation by glucose and GIP.

  • GIP promotes lipogenesis and lipid deposition under hyperinsulinemia while stimulating lipolysis and fatty acid oxidation under normo- or hypoinsulinemia.

    “GIP promotes lipogenesis and lipid deposition under conditions of hyperinsulinema [34–36] while stimulating lipolysis and fatty acid oxidation under conditions of normo- or hypoinsulinemia [37–39].”

    From Dual and Triple Incretin-Based Co-agonists: Novel Therapeutics for Obesity and Diabetes (2024) · cites this paper as [38]

    The Discussion (page unavailable) reports that GIP stimulated lipolysis in 3T3-L1 cells without insulin and that insulin inhibited this effect. It proposes that GIP may stimulate lipolysis when insulin levels are too low to inhibit it, but does not establish fatty acid oxidation. The hyperinsulinemia clause is attached to different citations and is not assessed here. (LLM, conf=0.87)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
