Abstract
OBJECTIVE: Compromise of gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) receptor action and activation of cholecystokinin (CCK) receptors represent mechanistically different approaches to the possible treatment of obesity-related diabetes. In the present study, we have compared the individual and combined effects of (Pro3)GIP[mPEG] and (pGlu-Gln)-CCK-8 as an enzymatically stable GIP receptor antagonist and CCK receptor agonist molecule, respectively.RESULTS: Twice-daily injections of (pGlu-Gln)-CCK-8 alone and in combination with (Pro3)GIP[mPEG] in high-fat-fed mice for 34 days significantly decreased the energy intake throughout the entire study (P
