Abstract

Exenatide is a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist for the treatment of type 2 diabetes and has been shown to lower blood glucose through multiple mechanisms, including glucose-dependent insulin secretion, suppression of postprandial glucagon release and slowing of gastric emptying. The effects of exenatide on biliary motility are unknown. This study evaluated the effect of a single dose of exenatide on cholecystokinin (CCK)-induced gallbladder emptying. Healthy subjects participated in this randomized, 2-period, double-blind crossover study. Fasting subjects received a single subcutaneous injection of exenatide (10 μg) or placebo 60 min before CCK infusion. Gallbladder volume and ejection fraction (EF) were assessed by ultrasonography before, during, and after CCK infusion (0.003 μg/kg infused over 50 min at 2 mL/min). The diameters of the main pancreatic duct and common bile duct were measured sonographically at the same time points before, during, and following CCK infusion. Administration of exenatide did not affect pre-CCK infusion gallbladder volume or EF compared to placebo. During the CCK-infusion, the mean minimum gallbladder volume was similar for exenatide (13.68 mL) and placebo (11.05 mL) (least squares mean [LSM] difference of 2.62 mL; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.53, 5.78), but the mean maximum EF was lower for exenatide (28.79%) versus placebo (46.13%) (LSM difference of -17.34%; 95% CI, -30.54, -4.13). Exenatide had no clinically significant effects on pancreatic or bile duct diameters. In conclusion, exenatide reduced CCK-induced gallbladder emptying compared with placebo in fasting healthy subjects.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
