Abstract
GLP-2 levels correlate with intestinal adaptation in infants, and with recovery of intestinal function in gastroschisis. GLP-2 productive capacity (L-cell expression) and GLP-2 receptor expression do not vary with maturity. The findings support a role for GLP-2 in regulating intestinal function. Further study is suggested.
