Abstract

Aims/hypothesis Ablation of gastric inhibitory polypeptide ( GIP) receptor action is reported to protect against obesity and associated metabolic abnormalities. The aim of this study was to use prediabetic ob/ob mice to examine whether 60 days of chemical GIP receptor ablation with (Pro(3)) GIP is able to counter the development of genetic obesity-related diabetes.
