Correction: Analysis of Plasma Protein Concentrations and Enzyme Activities in Cattle within the Ex-Evacuation Zone of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Plant Accident

There is an error in title of the article. The correct title should be: Analysis of Plasma Protein Concentrations and Enzyme Activities in Cattle within the Ex-Evacuation Zone of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident. The correct citation should read as follows: Urushihara Y, Kawasumi K, Endo S, Tanaka K, Hirakawa Y, Hayashi G, et al. (2016) Analysis of Plasma Protein Concentrations and Enzyme Activities in Cattle within the Ex-Evacuation Zone of the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant Accident. PLoS ONE 11(5): e0155069. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0155069

There is an error in the affiliation for author Emiko Isogai. The correct affiliation should be #10: Graduate School of Agricultural Sciences, Tohoku University, Sendai, Miyagi, Japan.

There is an error in the last sentence of the “Statistical analysis” sub section of the “Materials and Methods” section. The correct sentence should be: Welch’s t test was applied to determine significant differences between 2 groups.

There is an error in Table 1. In the row labeled “Gender” under the column labeled “Ex-evacuation (49)”, the number of females is incorrect. The correct numbers should be: 45.
