Role of the incretin hormone GIP in the development of diabetic vascular complications - good or bad? The incretin hormones GIP (glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide) and GLP-1 (glucagon-like peptide-1) are released from the intestine after food ingestion to stimulate insulin secretion in a glucose-dependent manner. Both GIP and GLP-1 are rapidly degraded by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase
