Elevated galectin-3 levels detected in women with hyperglycemia during early and mid-pregnancy antagonizes high glucose  - induced trophoblast cells apoptosis via galectin-3/foxc1 pathway

CONCLUSION: Future studies were required to validate whether plasma galectin-3 might become a potential biomarker for hyperglycemia during pregnancy. Elevated galectin-3 levels might be a vital protective mechanism among those exposed to hyperglycemia during pregnancy.PMID:37626284 | DOI:10.1186/s10020-023-00707-5
