To be or not to be--an incretin or enterogastrone?

M Horowitz et al. Gut. 2006 Feb.

Abstract

Glucagon-like peptide 1 does not comfortably fulfil the criterion of a gut derived factor responsible for an enhanced meal related insulin response; it appears logical to add the definition of a "physiological incretin hormone".
