Glucagon-like peptide-2 (GLP-2) infusion significantly increased circulating GLP-2 concentrations. Piglets delivered 12 days preterm were randomized to control (CON) or GLP-2 treatment and given total parenteral nutrition (TPN) for 2 days. On day 3, TPN was withdrawn and enteral feeds were initiated for 96 hours. Upon euthanasia, arterial plasma was collected for analysis. A, As expected, continuous infusion of GLP-2 increased the circulating GLP-2 concentration compared with controls. B, Vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) was not different between the groups.
