Objectives: A role for the gut hormones glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in controlling bone mass and strength has previously been reported. However, lack of one gut hormone is compensated by an elevated sensitivity to the other in single receptor knockout mice. As such the exact role of GIP and GLP-1 in bone is unclear. The aims of the present study were to assess bone mass and strength in mice with functional deletion of ...
