(A) Outline of Study B. Volunteers ingested a liquid meal along with 120,000 IU of vitamin A (retinyl palmitate) at 7 am (T = −7 hours). At 2 pm (T = 0 hours) volunteers received a subcutaneous dose of either GLP-2 (1500 mcg) or placebo and blood sampling was performed for a further 3 hours until 5 pm (T = 3 hours). No food was permitted after ingestion of the meal at 7 am until 5 pm. Representative (n = 1) concentration curve of (B) plasma triglyceride (TG), (C) triglyceride rich lipoprotein (TRL) TG, and (D) TRL retinyl palmitate from a single volunteer (placebo, black diamond and dotted line; GLP-2, black square and solid line) following ingestion of the liquid meal containing retinyl palmitate at −7 hours. GLP-2 or placebo was administered at 0 hours. GLP-2 acutely increased the concentration or all of these parameters for approximately 2 hours following its administration.
