Popis: Although glucose‐dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) levels have been characterized previously, GLP‐1 levels in Asians remain unclear. Here, we investigate total and intact levels of GLP‐1, as well as GIP during oral glucose and meal tolerance tests (OGTT and MTT) in Japanese patients with or without type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Seventeen Japanese healthy controls and 18 age‐matched and untreated patients with T2DM of short duration participated in the present study. Fasting levels of total GPL‐1 were similar between the two groups (approximately 15 pM), and intact GLP‐1 levels were considerably low in both groups (less than 1 pM). In both groups, total GLP‐1 reached a peak 30 min after glucose ingestion (30–40 pM), whereas intact GLP‐1 levels remained low with no significant peak. In MTT, total and intact GLP‐1 showed no obvious peak. The current data indicate that intact GLP‐1 levels are considerably low in the Japanese and that meal‐induced enhancement of GLP‐1 secretion is negligible in the Japanese.
