Abstrakt: Introduction: Both liraglutide and colesevelam improve bile acid diarrhea (BAD) symptoms. Colesevelam binds excess amounts of diarrhea-causing bile acids in the colon whereas the mode of action for liraglutide remains elusive. Here, we examined the impact of colesevelam and liraglutide treatment on the concentrations of bile acids in serum and feces and the fecal microbiota composition to better understand the two drugs' modes of action.
Methods: Bile acid species were analyzed in serum and fecal samples from a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy trial at baseline and after three and six weeks of orally administered colesevelam (1,875 mg twice daily, n = 26) or subcutaneously administered liraglutide (uptitrated by weekly increments of 0.6 mg from 0.6 to 1.8 mg daily, n = 26) in patients with 75selenium-homotaurocholic acid test-verified, idiopathic, or post-cholecystectomy BAD. Fecal microbiota composition was analyzed by 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing at the same time points.
Results: Colesevelam increased the fecal concentrations of all bile acid species while it decreased serum concentrations of secondary bile acids. Liraglutide induced a small increase in serum unconjugated bile acid concentrations without affecting fecal bile acid concentrations. No changes in fecal microbiota composition were observed with either treatment.
Conclusion: Colesevelam and liraglutide exhibit distinct effects on serum and fecal bile acid concentrations with colesevelam reducing serum concentrations of secondary bile acids and promoting fecal bile acid excretion while liraglutide enhances serum concentrations of unconjugated bile acids, potentially through deceleration of small intestinal transit time allowing more time for passive absorption of bile acids.
