Gal-3 GDM placental protein expression was increased compared to NP. Immunostaining revealed that Gal-3 is upregulated in GDM placental extravillous trophoblast. ELISA of Gal-3 maternal serum levels between GDM and NP were similar. Gal-3 is strongly expressed at molecular levels (mRNA and protein expression) in GDM maternal blood and placental tissue, and decreased in cord blood. These findings highlight the role of the placenta in protecting the fetus from potential Gal-3 damage. Gal-3 expression at mRNA and protein levels might be i
