Abstract
⺠This study evaluated the effects of exenatide on fasting CCK-induced gallbladder emptying. ⺠Exenatide did not affect pre-CCK gallbladder volume or ejection fraction. ⺠With CCK, exenatide decreased ejection fraction but not gallbladder volume. ⺠Exenatide did not affect pancreatic or bile duct diameters. ⺠Exenatide reduced CCK-induced gallbladder emptying compared to placebo.
