Pathological vascular remodeling is the underlying cause of atherosclerosis and abdominal
aortic aneurysm (AAA). Here, we analyzed the role of galectin-1 (Gal-1), a β-galactoside …

Objective: Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a vascular degenerative disease causing
sudden rupture of aorta and significant mortality in elders. Nevertheless, no prognostic and …

Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a 26-kDa lectin that regulates many aspects of inflammatory cell
behavior. We assessed the hypothesis that increased levels of Gal-3 contribute to …

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) evolution is unpredictable and no specific treatment exists
for AAA, except surgery to prevent aortic rupture. Galectin-3 has been previously associated …

Objective: Galectin-3 (formerly known as Mac-2), encoded by the LGALS3 gene, is proposed
to regulate macrophage adhesion, chemotaxis, and apoptosis. We investigated the role of …

Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is involved in cardiovascular fibrosis and aortic valve (AV) calcification.
We hypothesized that Gal-3 pharmacological inhibition with modified citrus pectin (MCP) …

Atherosclerosis is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory arterial disease forming the
pathological basis of many cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, heart …

Objective—Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a 26-kDa lectin known to regulate many aspects of
inflammatory cell behavior. We assessed the hypothesis that increased levels of Gal-3 …

Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a carbohydrate-binding protein with multiple functions. Gal-3 regulates
cell growth, proliferation, and apoptosis by orchestrating cell-cell and cell-matrix interactions …

Objective—Aldosterone (Aldo) is involved in arterial stiffness and heart failure, but the
mechanisms have remained unclear. Galectin-3 (Gal-3), a β-galactoside-binding lectin …
