Differences in galectin-3, a biomarker of fibrosis, between participants with peripheral artery disease and participants with normal ankle–brachial index

The aim of this study was to determine if galectin-3 levels were different between participants with peripheral artery disease (PAD) and controls, and to describe its relationship with markers of early atherosclerosis. Sixty participants were recruited into two groups: a PAD group (n=31), ankle–brac...
