Plain-English summary

Xenin-25 slowed gastric emptying and reduced post-meal glucose excursions in a small human study.

Population
Adults undergoing metabolic testing
Intervention
Exogenous xenin-25 during meal testing
Outcomes measured
Gastric emptying|Postprandial glucose|Insulin secretion|Symptoms
Key findings
Demonstrated acute gastrointestinal and metabolic activity.
Limitations
Small sample|Acute administration|Gastrointestinal adverse effects|No long-term outcomes
Risk of bias
Moderate because of the short physiological design.
