Is genotype of galectin 2 ( LGALS2 ) associated with insulin-glucose profile in the British Women 's Heart and Health Study?
Our findings for the physically unlinked LGALS2, invite further study of LGALS2 specifically and the LTA pathway generally for their influence on glucose-insulin regulation.
Statin use is associated with improved survival in CLI patients 1 year after surgical revascularization. Further studies are indicated to determine optimal dosing in this population and to definitively address the question of relationship to graft patency. These data add to the growing literature supporting statin use in patients with advanced peripheral arterial disease.
