Galectin-3 Is a Potential Mediator for Atherosclerosis by Ziyu Gao, Zhongni Liu, Rui Wang, Yinghong Zheng, Hong Li, Liming Yang

“…Gal-3 has been demonstrated in recent years to be a novel inflammatory factor participating in the process of intravascular inflammation, lipid endocytosis, macrophage activation, cellular proliferation, monocyte chemotaxis, and cell adhesion. This review focuses on the role of Gal-3 in atherosclerosis and the mechanism involved and several classical Gal-3 agonists and antagonists in the current studies.…”
