In the article by Sakuragawa et al. (Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition 2010; 46: 126–134) ”Hypotaurine is an Energy-Saving Hepatoprotective Compound against Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury of the Rat Liver”, an error appeared in Fig. 4. Units of the ordinates in Fig. 4 were incorrect: i.e. it should be µmol/g liver instead of mmol/g liver. A corrected figure and legend are printed below.
Fig. 4.
Hepatic contents of ATP, ADP and AMP and energy charges measured at 3 h after the start of reperfusion. Note that the HTU-treated group significantly attenuated tissue contents of ADP and AMP, without lowering ATP in the post-ischemic liver, leading to a significant recovery of the energy charge. Values are mean ± SE of 5–8 separate experiments. *p<0.05 vs the control. †p<0.05 vs the I/R-treated group.
