Moreover, many studies have shown that Gal-3 expression is detected in many pathological conditions, such as cardiac diseases [37,38,39,40,41,42,43], kidney diseases [44,45,46,47], diabetes [44,47,48], viral infections [49,50,51,52], autoimmune diseases [53,54,55,56], neurodegenerative disorders [57,58], and tumor development [32,33,35].
