Cephalic phase insulin release : the role of oral glucose detection and its measurement in humans

Creator:

Pullicin, Alexa J.

Abstract:

Sensory stimulation from food-related cues elicits a number of rapid physiologic responses that prepare the gastrointestinal tract for efficient nutrient utilization and help minimize perturbations to metabolic homeostasis. Cephalic phase insulin release (CPIR) is one such response that specifically promotes glucose homeostasis by limiting the rise in blood sugar after...
