Abstract
This review argues that cholecystokinin (CCK) and gastrin are incretins. The insulin cells are equipped with CCK 2 /gastrin receptors. CCK/gastrin peptides stimulate insulin secretion and potentiate the incretin effect of glucagon-like peptide-1. CCK/gastrin and insulin are released in significant amounts during normal mixed meals even at modest changes in blood glucose concentrations.
