76In type 2 diabetes the incretin effect is markedly attenuated. The dominant lesion appears to be loss of beta-cell responsiveness to GIP rather than deficient GLP-1 secretion, since pharmacological GLP-1 concentrations restore much of the insulin response whereas GIP does not.{{r|nauck1986,nauck2018}} This asymmetry is the reason the GLP-1 arm of the axis, and not the GIP arm, was pursued first as a monotherapy target — and it is also why the later demonstration that GIP co-agonism ''adds'' clinical benefit in [[Dual incretin agonist|dual agonists]] was regarded as surprising.76In type 2 diabetes the incretin effect is markedly attenuated.

+78Whether GLP-1 secretion itself is reduced in obesity and type 2 diabetes has been contested for two decades; meta-analytic work suggests differences are small and heterogeneous between studies.{{cn}}
