Physiology
GIP is released from the K cells of the duodenum and jejunum in response to the presence of nutrients, particularly glucose and fat. Its primary function is to stimulate insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta cells, which helps regulate postprandial blood glucose levels. It also inhibits gastric acid secretion and gastric emptying.
