In the article “Scavenging or Quenching Effect of Melanin on Superoxide Anion and Singlet Oxygen” in vol. 46, no. 3: 224–228, 2010 issue of Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition, the concentrations of melanin in Fig. 4 were incorrect. Corrected Figure is here. Accordingly, corresponding description in “Results and Discussion” should be corrected as follows:

“Melanin showed concentration dependent quenching activity against 1O2, and 1.6 µg/ml of melanin quenched 64% of 1O2.” should be corrected to “Melanin showed concentration dependent quenching activity against 1O2, and 16 µg/ml of melanin quenched 64% of 1O2.
