Abstract

The gut-derived incretin hormones glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) have been suggested to play a role in bone metabolism. Exogenous administration of GIP inhibits bone resorption, but the effect of GLP-1 is less clear. Furthermore, the combined effect of exogenous GIP and GLP-1 on bone metabolism is unknown. Objective: To investigate the effect of separate and combined infusions of the incretin hormones GIP and GLP-1 on bone resorption and formation. Design: Randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, crossover study including five study days. Participants: Seventeen overweight/obese men. Interventions: On the first study day, a 50-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed. On the next four study days, isoglycemic IV glucose infusions (IIGI), mimicking the glucose excursions from the OGTT, were performed with concomitant infusions of GIP (4 pmol/kg/min), GLP-1 (1 pmol/ kg/min), GIP1GLP-1 (4 and 1 pmol/kg/min, respectively), or placebo, respectively. Primary Outcomes: Changes in bone resorption assessed by measurements of carboxy-terminal type I collagen crosslinks (CTX) and in bone formation as assessed by procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) concentrations.
