Combination Therapy with a Dipeptidyl Peptidase-4 Inhibitor and a Proton Pump Inhibitor Induces β-Cell Neogenesis from Adult Human Pancreatic Duct Cells Implanted in Immunodeficient Mice

Combination therapy with a dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor (DPP-4i) and a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) raises endogenous levels of GLP-1 and gastrin, respectively, and restores pancreatic β-cell mass and normoglycemia in nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice with autoimmune diabetes.
