Modified citrus pectin inhibits galectin-3 function to reduce atherosclerotic lesions in apoE-deficient mice

Galectin-3 is a carbohydrate-binding lectin, which has been implicated in the modulation of atherosclerotic pathophysiology, and is highly expressed in monocytes, macrophages and endothelial cells within atherosclerotic plaques. Modified citrus pectin (MCP) is produced from citrus pectin via pH and...
