This study demonstrates that GIPRs are expressed by human adipocytes, both GIPR mRNA and functional receptor expression being present in differentiated adipocytes but not in preadipocytes. Further investigation into the functional effects of GIP on differentiated SGBS cells could help towards understanding exactly how GIP regulates fat accumulation in human adipocytes.
