Several peptides and hormones present in the
enteroinsular axis play significant roles in body homeostasis, and their secretion is altered by physical exercise (28).
These findings clearly indicate that chronic alcohol exposure induces a [beta]-cell dysfunction and not an enteroinsular incretin dysfunction, because the decrease in insulin response compared with the control group also was observed when glucose was administered intravenously.

Glucose homeostasis and the
enteroinsular axis in the horse: a possible role in equine metabolic syndrome.
The metabolic, hormonal, and neuronal influences on the endocrine pancreas are collectively referred to as the "
enteroinsular axis" [11].
This is probably due to yet to be understood role of
enteroinsular axis leading to enhanced beta-cell sensitivity and reducing the peripheral insulin resistance.

enteroinsular axis and the recovery from type 2 diabetes after bariatric surgery," Obesity Surgery, vol.
[26-29] The precise mechanisms by which TCF7L2 variants increase risk are not well understood, although various lines of evidence suggest that they involve the
enteroinsular axis, impaired insulin secretion and possibly reduced P cell proliferation.
Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide receptor null mice exhibit compensatory changes in the
enteroinsular axis.
Double incretin receptor knockout (DIRKO) mice reveal an essential role for the
enteroinsular axis in transducing the glucoregulatory actions of DPP-IV inhibitors.
