The book details the collaborative research journey of Dr. Raymond Pederson, Dr. Jill Dryburgh, and the author, beginning in 1968, to isolate an inhibitory material for acid secretion linked to cholecystokinin-pancreozymin preparations. With the support of notable scientists at the Karolinska Institute, they rapidly advanced the purification process. The narrative highlights key interactions, including a pivotal conversation with Dr. John Dupre regarding GIP's potential role as an insulinotropic hormone, which later proved significant in understanding its function in humans.
