Figure 5 Neural or humoral mechanism involvement in the early release of GLP-2.
The delivery of a meal significantly increases serum GLP-2 levels in rats with discontinuous small bowel (ANOVA, P < 0.007). The disruption of the continuity of the bowel (stoma creation) did not inhibit the initial nutrient-stimulated GLP-2 response. Thus, GLP-2 production is increased at least in part by neural and/or hormonal mechanisms. Serum GLP-2 levels reported as ng/mL.
