The insulinogenic effect of whey protein is partially mediated by a direct effect of amino acids and GIP on β-cells
Research output: Contribution to journal › Journal article › Research › peer-review
Whey protein increases postprandial serum insulin levels. This has been associated with increased serum levels of leucine, isoleucine, valine, lysine, threonine and the incretin hormone glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP). We have examined the effects of these putative mediators of whey's action on insulin secretion from isolated mouse Langerhans islets.
