GIP contributes to postprandial regulation of splanchnic blood supply in humans with type 2 diabetes: a randomised, single-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover study.

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: In healthy lean humans, endogenous glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) contributes significantly to the postprandial increase in arteria mesenterica superior blood flow. The vascular biology related to activation of the GIP receptor is markedly impaired in individuals with type 2 diabetes and is sometimes absent. In this population, we investigated the role of endogenous GIP on postprandial splanchnic blood flow by using the GIP receptor antagonist, GIP(3-30)NH2. The primary outcome of this study was the changes in blood flow in arteria mesenterica superior during oral glucose with or without GIP receptor antagonist infusion. METHODS: Ten participants with type 2 diabetes (age 20-80 years, BMI 20-35 kg/m2, and HbA1c >48 mmol/mol and <75 mmol/mol) were investigated in a randomised, placebo-controlled, crossover study. On four separate occasions, participants received the following treatment: oral glucose + i.v. GIP(3-30)NH2; oral glucose + i.v. saline (154 mmol/l NaCl); oral water + i.v. GIP(3-30)NH2; oral water + i.v. saline. Participants were randomly assigned to intervention groups using (random.org). Participants were unaware of allocation, while investigators were aware. No additional allocation concealment procedures were used. During all four interventions, splanchnic blood flow was measured using phase-contrast MRI in the arteria mesenterica superior, truncus coeliacus and vena portae during oral glucose (75 g) or water ingestion. The study was conducted at Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen. Liver volume and oxygenation, as well as gallbladder volume, were assessed. Blood samples were collected and analysed for insulin, C-peptide, GIP, glucagon and glucose. RESULTS: Oral glucose alone increased mean blood flow in arteria mesenterica superior by 57% (95% CI 26, 88) and this was 15% (95% CI -2, 32) lower during concomitant GIP receptor antagonist infusion, p=0.012. Infusion of GIP receptor antagonist during oral glucose treatment did also result in lower insulin secretion, C-peptide and C-peptide/glucose ratio compared with saline infusion, whereas glucagon levels and plasma glucose were unaffected. Oral water did not affect any outcomes. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION: Endogenous GIP contributes to postprandially increased splanchnic blood flow in people with type 2 diabetes. TRIAL REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT06426823 FUNDING: This work was supported by the Novo Nordisk Foundation.

Effects of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and Dual GIP/GLP-1 Receptor Agonists on Inflammatory and Metabolic Biomarkers in Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

BACKGROUND: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) and dual GIP/GLP-1 receptor agonists improve cardiovascular outcomes in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), but their effects on inflammatory and oxidative biomarkers are not fully defined. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We searched PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, Scopus, Web of Science and the Cochrane Library from inception to 19 February 2026 for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) in adults with T2DM comparing a GLP-1RA or dual GIP/GLP-1 agonist with placebo or active therapy, and reporting C-reactive protein (CRP or high-sensitivity CRP [hs-CRP]), interleukin-6 (IL-6), tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), malondialdehyde (MDA) or adiponectin. Random-effects meta-analyses were conducted using standardised mean differences (SMDs). RESULTS: Forty-one RCTs were included. GLP-1RAs significantly reduced CRP/hs-CRP (27 studies, 1991 participants; SMD -0.37, 95% CI -0.59 to -0.14) and MDA (3 studies, 272 participants; SMD -0.98, 95% CI -1.65 to -0.30), and increased adiponectin (16 studies, 1327 participants; SMD 0.30, 95% CI 0.13 to 0.46). Pooled effects on IL-6 (17 studies, 1068 participants; SMD -0.14, 95% CI -0.37 to 0.10), TNF-α (16 studies, 1164 participants; SMD -0.25, 95% CI -0.61 to 0.12) and MCP-1 (7 studies, 450 participants; SMD -0.27, 95% CI -0.58 to 0.03) were not statistically significant, although MCP-1 decreased in sensitivity analyses. Across biomarkers, heterogeneity was moderate to high. Two tirzepatide RCTs (562 participants) showed a significant reduction in IL-6 (SMD -0.28, 95% CI -0.47 to -0.09) and a non-significant trend towards lower CRP/hs-CRP. CONCLUSIONS: In adults with T2DM, incretin-based therapies consistently lower CRP/hs-CRP, reduce oxidative stress (MDA) and increase adiponectin, while effects on IL-6 and TNF-α are more variable. These data support a selective anti-inflammatory and metabolic regulatory profile of GLP-1-based therapy, but heterogeneity and limited data for some biomarkers warrant cautious interpretation and further mechanistic studies.

Acute Stevia Consumption does not Alter Endocrine Responses in Individuals with Normal Weight, Overweight, and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

BACKGROUND: Stevia is a plant-based non-nutritive sweetener. Acute effects of stevia ingestion on glycemia and hormonal responses have not been fully investigated. OBJECTIVE: This objective of this study was to evaluate the acute effects of beverages containing stevia alone and in combination with glucose on glycemic, hormonal, and appetite responses. METHODS: This study evaluated three cohorts of n=23 individuals with either normal weight (NW), overweight (OW), or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) for which each individual completed four test conditions in a randomized sequence crossover study design. The four test conditions were beverages containing stevia (75.6 mg steviol equivalents), water, glucose (30 g), and stevia+glucose (30 g glucose+75.6 mg steviol equivalents). Blood samples were collected before and for 180 min after beverage consumption. Assessments included net area under the curve (niAUC) and incremental maximal concentration values for plasma glucose, insulin, glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP), glucagon-like peptide-1, glucagon, and PYY. Appetite was assessed with visual-analog scale questions and energy consumption during an ad libitum meal. RESULTS: Responses to the stevia beverage did not differ significantly from those for water alone, and stevia + glucose did not differ significantly from glucose alone for any of the three groups. CONCLUSION: Acute stevia consumption did not materially alter responses for glycemia or hormones involved in glucose and appetite regulation, appetite ratings, or energy intake at a subsequent meal.

GLP-1 Receptor Agonists and Musculoskeletal Outcomes: A Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis.

INTRODUCTION: Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are increasingly used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and obesity, but their effects on musculoskeletal health remain completely misunderstood. OBJECTIVE: This systematic review/meta-analysis aims to synthesise clinical data on the effects of GLP-1 RAs on key relevant bone, muscle, and joint outcomes. METHODS: MEDLINE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (both via Ovid® platform) and Embase were searched from inception to March 2025 to identify relevant randomised controlled trials (RCTs) or real-world evidence (RWE) studies to be included. This bibliographic search was completed manually. A random-effect model meta-analysis was performed for any outcome reported in at least 2 studies. Subgroup analyses were performed on the type of GLP-1 RAs, type of comparator used and study design. Sensitivity analyses (i.e., leave-out sensitivity analyses and analyses restricted to the most adjusted effect estimate) were performed to test the robustness of the data. The strength of evidence was assessed using GRADE. This work has been performed in adherence with PRISMA statement. (PROSPERO Record ID: CRD420251024082). RESULTS: From 1148 potentially relevant references, 60 articles (46 RCTs, 13 RWE studies and 1 pharmacovigilance study, comprising 1,250,717 individuals) met our inclusion criteria. Different GLP-1 RAs were represented across the panel of studies, i.e., semaglutide, liraglutide, exenatide, dulaglutide, tirzepatide (dual agonist gastric inhibitory polypeptide [GIP]/GLP-1) and others. No effect on bone outcomes (i.e., bone mineral density [all sites] and fractures [all sites]) were observed when the meta-analytical models included the most adjusted effect size. Regarding muscle outcomes, a significant decrease of lean body mass/fat-free mass was consistently observed with GLP-1 RAs in the global model (k = 28, standardised mean difference [SMD] 0.52, 95% confidence interval [CI] -0.8; -0.23, I2 88%, p-value for heterogeneity <0.0001), which remained robust in all sensitivity analyses. Subgroup analyses showed that the effect was mainly driven by liraglutide and semaglutide, with a decrease in lean body mass/fat-free mass observed when GLP-1 RAs were compared with placebo. No publication bias was found. Regarding joint outcome, models revealed no significant change in The Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) pain, physical function and stiffness. CONCLUSIONS: This meta-analysis is the first to investigate the effects of GLP-1 RAs on a large panel of musculoskeletal health outcomes. While no significant effects were observed on bone- or joint-related outcomes, GLP-1 RAs were associated with reductions in lean body mass/fat-free mass, although the certainty of evidence was low and these changes appeared largely related to weight loss. Whether these changes translate into clinically meaningful impairments in muscle function or physical performance remains uncertain. Further studies in this field, including those looking at muscle function, strength or performance and using multivariate models considering confounding are needed to better reinforce the models and final findings.
