In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figure 9 as published. The subfigures B-3 and B-4 were mistakenly selected, due to a human error during figure preparation. The corrected Figure 9 appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
Figure 9.
Effects of Berberis vulgaris extract/β-cyclodextrin on CCl4-induced DNA damage. (A) Lane 1-DNA isolated from normal liver; Lane 2: DNA isolated from CCl4 intoxicated liver; Lane 3: DNA isolated from liver treated with Berberis vulgaris; Lane 4: DNA isolated from liver pre-treated with Berberis vulgaris extract followed by i.p. CCl4 injection; Lane 5: DNA isolated from liver treated with Berberis vulgaris extract/β cyclodextrin; Lane 6: DNA isolated from liver pre-treated with Berberis vulgaris extract/β cyclodextrin followed by i.p. CCl4 injection; Lane 7: Marker (1-kb DNA ladder). (B) Methyl-green pyronin staining of liver. (B-1): Control group; (B-2): CCl4 group; extended ssDNA areas (asterix); (B-3): Berberis vulgaris extract + CCl4; semnificative reduction of ssDNA areas (arrow); (B-4): Berberis vulgaris extract/β cyclodextrin + CCl4; ssDNA areas loss and normal RNA distribution (arrowhead) (DNA—pale green; RNA—pink).
