Abstract
The present invention provides peptide analogues which are antagonists of gastric inhibitory peptide (GIP). The peptides, based on GIP 1-42 include substitutions and/or modifications which have enhanced resistance to degradation by the enzyme dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV). The invention also provides a process of N terminally modifying GIP and the use of the peptide analogues for treatment of diabetes.
