LGALS3 and metabolic syndrome: Moreover, we looked for correlations between LECT2 and non-routine biochemical parameters, such as advanced glycation end products (AGEs), galectin 3 (GAL3), and lipoprotein receptor-1 (LOX1) protein content, soluble receptors for advanced glycation products (sRAGE), scavenger receptor class B (SR-B), and scavenger receptor class A (SR-A) protein involved in the pathomechanism of metabolic syndromes.
