Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Galectins are a family of carbohydrate-binding proteins that have a high affinity to galactosides, its protein portion is located in the nucleus and the cytoplasm with its carbohydrate recognition domain which has high ability to be glycosylated inside or outside the cell.

They are expressed by vascular endothelium, immune cells (macrophages, neutrophils, and mast cells), uterus, placenta, cardiac muscle, liver, epithelium of the gastrointestinal tract, and many other tissues.

Although some galectins have intracellular functions, the majority of them have extracellular activities, which facilitate their contribution to cell adhesion, cell activation, and inflammation. Galectin-3 (Gal-3) is a unique pentamer of the galectins family and it is involved in both physiological functions; cell growth and differentiation, and pathological conditions; inflammation, fibrosis, and metastasis.

Regarding pregnancy, Gal-3 is proved to participate in angiogenesis, embryo developmental processes, and modulation of maternal immunity.
