RETRACTION FOR 10.1210/me.2013-1048
In the article entitled “Pid1 Induces Insulin Resistance in Both Human and Mouse Skeletal Muscle During Obesity” by Bonala S, McFarlane C, Ang J, Lim R, Lee M, Chua H, Lokireddy S, Sreekanth P, Leow MKS, Meng KC, Shyong TE, Lee YS, Gluckman PD, Sharma M, and Kambadur R (Mol Endocrinol. 2013;27(9):1518–1535; doi: 10.1210/me.2013-1048). We reported that higher levels of Pid1 induces insulin resistance. After a thorough investigation by the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore, data falsifications have been found in some of the in vitro laboratory studies, which invalidate the results reported. Hence, the coauthors wish to retract this publication and offer our sincere apologies to all those investigators who may have been affected and misled by this.
