Galectin-3 Mediates Vascular Dysfunction in Obesity by Regulating NADPH Oxidase 1
2023-04-21
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Rationale</h4> Obesity increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) through mechanisms that remain incompletely defined. Metabolic dysfunction, especially hyperglycemia, is thought to be a major contributor but how glucose impacts vascular function is unclear. Galectin-3 (GAL3) is a sugar binding lectin upregulated by hyperglycemia but its role as a causative mechanism of CVD remains poorly understood....
