Incretin action is enhanced by whey protein ingestion, possibly through incretin degradation via inhibition of DPP-4 (19,20). This is important in light of several incretin-based therapies such as continuous administration of GLP-1 (19), treatment with degradation-resistant GLP-1R agonists (Exendin-4) (15,23-25), and therapy with DPP-4 inhibitors (Sitagliptin, Liraglutide and others gliptines ) (15,23-27) all of which have lead to substantial improvements in glucose control and β-cell function in subjects with type 2 diabetes.
