" In this commentary, Professor Holst and colleagues reviewed the role of the gastrointestinal tract in health and disease, " said Dr. Adrian Vella, editor-in-chief of the Metabolic Syndrome and related disorders. and medical professor, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester said in a press release.

Researchers focused on how the gastrointestinal tract contributes to regulating the amount of blood sugar in the abdomen after secreting the incretin hormone called GIP and GLP-1.
