Studies in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have observed similar increases in the gut hormone GLP-1 as well as a pancreatic polypeptide (PYY)with high protein diets, which have been shown to suppress the rate of gastric emptying and, therefore, the rate at which blood glucose concentrations increase following a meal [46,47]. The gene discussed is PYY; the disease is type 2 diabetes mellitus.
