Potential Mechanism Associated with Post–Heart Transplantation Diabetes Mellitus in Chinese Patients

J Clin Endocrinol MetabPublished Mechanistic study

Authors' conclusion

These findings may provide a novel understanding of the pathological mechanism of PTDM and could be used to predict the development and progression of PTDM.
