Dr. Jon Campbell: Understanding GIP and Glucagon | Ep. 14
Published 21 Sept 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] Okay. So I guess first, let's start off with the obvious question. What is GIP? What does that stand for even? Yeah, good question. So it stands for the glucose dependent insulin tropic polypeptide. That's actually, it's renamed, the original name was the gastric inhibitory peptide, but when it was sort of discovered as the second incretin, when they were searching for an incretin that would complement GLP-1, they discovered GIP, rediscovered GIP, and then renamed it to keep the acronym. Perfect. And for listeners who might not be super familiar with the history, can you take us back to that original discovery, how GIP was viewed at the time and why it wasn't initially considered a promising therapeutic target? […]
