Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is an incretin that plays an important role in fat accumulation. GIP is involved in fat accumulation and insulin resistance with aging. Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is an intestinal hormone with a broad range of physiological actions. Elevated concentrations of the incretin hormone GIP are found in patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, while GIP treatment attenuates atherosclerotic plaque inflammation in mice and abrogates inflammatory macrophage activation in vitro. That GIP as a counterregulatory vasoprotective peptide, which might open new therapeutic avenues for the treatment of patients with high cardiovascular risk.
