Adipose tissue‐specific modulation of galectin expression in lean and obese mice: Evidence for regulatory function

Objective: Galectins (Gal) exert many activities, including regulation of inflammation and adipogenesis. We evaluated modulation of Gal‐1, ‐3, ‐9 and ‐12 in visceral (VAT) and subcutaneous (SAT) adipose tissue in mice. Design and Methods: We used two mouse models of obesity, high‐fat diet induced ob...
