Abstract: The present invention generally relates to a novel therapeutical use of liver X receptor (LXR) agonsits. More specifically, the present invention relates to the use of LXR agonist for the preparation of a medicament useful for the treatment and/or the prevention of a disease associated with beta cells degeneration, such as diabetes, and a method for increasing ex vivo viability of pancreatic islet cells, comprising contacting said islet cells with a LXR agonist.

Abstract: A method of increasing the ex vivo viability of pancreatic islet cells comprising contacting the islet cells with a liver X receptor (LXR) agonist, particularly an LXRalpha agonist. Examples of especially useful LXR agonists include GW3965 and T0901317.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the combined use of a PPAR? agonist and metformin for decreasing serum triglycerides.
