Abstract

Galectin-3 plays a role in atherosclerotic diseases, and the effect of adiponectin that protects from atherosclerotic diseases on monocytic galectin-3 was analysed. Adiponectin reduced galectin-3 mRNA, its cellular and soluble form, and this effect was impaired in T2D cells. Cellular galectin-3 was higher in monocytes of overweight than normal-weight donors and was highest in T2D cells. Cellular galectin-3 positively correlated with the BMI of the donors and negatively with soluble monocyte galectin-3. Circulating levels of total adiponectin did not correlate with cellular or soluble galectin-3 indicating that additional factors contribute to higher cellular monocytic galectin-3 in obesity and T2D.
