Authors' conclusion

Compared with placebo, treatment with liraglutide decreased postprandial FGF19 and GLP-2 concentrations and increased postprandial CCK concentrations, which may explain the delayed postprandial gallbladder refilling observed in individuals with obesity treated with liraglutide.
