Maternal Galectins and Glucose Regulation in Pregnancy: Chronic vs. Acute Metabolic Adaptations
Galectins exhibited distinct patterns of association with glucose homeostasis during the second trimester of pregnancy. Gal-3 and gal-9 are associated with chronic conditions such as pre-pregnancy obesity and insulin resistance, whereas gal-1 appears to be particularly sensitive to the acute glucose challenge.
