    Summary
    Using two established rodent models of nausea [conditioned taste avoidance (CTA) and pica (ingestion of nonnutritive substances)], results show that all peripheral doses of exendin-4 that suppress food intake also produce CTA, whereas one dose of liraglutide suppresses intake without producing CTA.
