For example, Galectin-3 levels in the coronary artery were up to 1.5-times higher in comparison to the respective concentrations in the periphery (CAD: X̅Sheath = 9873 ± 469 pg/ml, X̅CA = 13993 ± 1140 pg/ml; NSTEMI: X̅Sheath = 11487 ± 1333 pg/ml, X̅CA = 17337 ± 1775 pg/ml). Here, LGALS3 is linked to coronary artery disorder.
