Given the established roles of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) in promoting fat storage and bone formation, we assessed the contribution of GIP to obesity and osteopenia in ovariectomized mice with a gene encoding green fluorescent protein (GFP) inserted into the GIP locus, in which GIP was either reduced (GIP<sup>gfp/+</sup> ) or absent (GIP<sup>gfp/gfp</sup> ). In GIP<sup>gfp/gfp</sup> mice, weight gain, subcutaneous and visceral fat mass were reduced, and glucose intoleranc ...[more]
