Serum glucose (A), serum insulin (B) plasma GLP-17–36 (C) and plasma GIP (D) concentrations following an oral glucose gavage (1g/kg body weight, 50% dextrose solution) in sham (n=15) and IT-operated animals (n=18) at 1 month after surgery. ***P< 0.0001, **P< 0.001 by two-factor (time × treatment) ANOVA; *P< 0.05, **P< 0.01, ***P< 0.001 by Bonferroni’s posttest. Ileal preproglucagon mRNA expression 2 months after surgery in sham (n=10) and IT (n=7) operated animals (E). Values are expressed as mean ± SEM.
