Ablation of Galectin-12 Inhibits Atherosclerosis through Enhancement of M2 Macrophage Polarization
The formation of foam cells, which are macrophages that have engulfed oxidized low-density lipoprotein (OxLDL), constitutes the first stage in the development of atherosclerosis. Previously, we found that knocking down galectin-12, a negative regulator of lipolysis, leads to reduced secretion of mon...
