The effect of gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) and the related glucagon like peptides 1 and 2 (GLP-1 and GLP-2) on jejunal basolateral membrane glucose transport was investigated to determine if the up-regulation produced by luminal hexoses could be explained by the release of one or more of these peptides. Luminal perfusion of the rat jejunum for four hours, under sodium pentabarbital anesthesia, with 100mM D-glucose produced a significant increase in plasma GIP levels. Vascular infusion of saline containing 100 - 800pM GIP also increased the maximal transport rate for carrier mediated glucose uptake in jejunal basolateral membrane vesicles. The effect of vascular 400 pM GIP was maximal after one hour and maintained out to four hours. The effect of luminal glucose could be blocked by preinjection with anti-GIP antibodies, while an anti-neurotensin antibody had no effect. Vascular infusion with 800 pM GLP-1 (7-36) amide had no effect, but GLP-2 (400 & 800pM) increased the D -glucose maximal transport rate. An anti-GLP antibody was able to block the response to luminal glucose.
