TL;DR: In healthy men, intragastric quinine reduces postprandial blood glucose and stimulates insulin and GLP-1, but does not slow gastric emptying, or reduce energy intake, under the authors' experimental conditions.

TL;DR: In contrast to its profound insulinotropic effect in health, the administration of GIP at pharmacological doses does not appear to affect glycaemia, gastric emptying, glucose absorption or insulinaemia in the critically ill patient.

TL;DR: The mean calcium requirement of normal adults has been estimated from 212 calcium balances on 84 normal subjects and found to be 578 mg as discussed by the authors, which is relatively higher than that of phosphorus or magnesium because plasma calcium--and therefore urine calcium--is maintained at the expense of the skeleton in the presence of calcium deficiency, whereas plasma phosphate and magnesium fall on phosphorus and magnesium deficient diets.

TL;DR: The objective is to determine the effects of acute hyperglycaemia on appetite and food intake in Type 1 diabetes mellitus and to establish a smoking cessation strategy.

TL;DR: The magnitude of the fall in systolic BP and rise in HR are less after oral, compared with intraduodenal, glucose, presumably reflecting the "protective" effect of gastric distension.
