Serum levels of gut hormones in IGR subjects with TCM body constitutions. The associations of GLP-1 and GIP with Phlegm-damp (a, d), Damp-heat (b, e) and Qi-deficiency (c, f) were investigated. Serum GLP-1 and GIP levels are significantly lower in IGR subjects with Qi-deficiency as compared with IGR subjects without Qi-deficiency. Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test was performed. *P<0.05. IGR: impaired glucose regulation; GLP-1: glucagon-like peptide-1; GIP: gastric inhibitory polypeptide
