Gastric emptying. Effect of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) on gastric emptying as measured using: (A) retention of gastric contents over time (scintigraphic technique) (AUC0 to 300: GIP, 15,611 (10,993 to 18,062) vs. placebo, 15,660 (9,694 to 22,618)%.300 minutes; P = 0.61; n = 18); and (B) gastric emptying coefficient (labelled breath test) (1.98 (1.60 to 2.50) vs. 2.01 (1.14 to 2.81); P = 0.99; n = 20). Data are median (25th to 75th percentile); analysed using Wilcoxon’s signed-rank test. AUC, area under the concentration curve.
