We found some errors in Figure 4 in our paper published in the International journal of Environmental Research and Public Health [1]. Figure 4 is corrected as follows: the values on the Y axis should be in ng/gm testis and not ug/gm testis. Secondly, it is indicated in the body of the manuscript that the ITT values are represented per gram of testis but in Figure 4 the values reported was not normalized per gram of testis weight. The values on Figure 4 are ITT per testis. So we divided these values by the testis weight to arrive at the values represented in the graph below.
Figure 4.
Effect of inhaled BaP on ITT concentrations in F-344 male rats exposed to 75 μg BaP/m3 for 60 days; n = 10 per treatment or control group. Results are expressed as mean + SE (UNC = unexposed control; BaP = BaP-inhaled rats. Asterisks indicate a significant difference from controls P < 0.05).
We apologize for any inconvenience caused to the readers.
