Time-course analysis of cardiac and serum galectin-3 in viral myocarditis after an encephalomyocarditis virus inoculation.

Time-course analysis of cardiac and serum galectin-3 in viral myocarditis after an encephalomyocarditis virus inoculation.

Galectin-3 is a β-galactoside-binding lectin which is important in cell proliferation and apoptotic regulation.
