Medical Sciences. In the article “Activation of ɛ protein kinase C correlates with a cardioprotective effect of regular ethanol consumption” by Masami Miyamae, Manuel M. Rodriguez, S. Albert Camacho, Ivan Diamond, Daira Mochly-Rosen, and Vincent M. Figueredo, which appeared in number 14, July 7, 1998, of Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA (95, 8262–8267), the following correction should be noted. On page 8264, an incorrect Fig. 1 was printed. The correct figure and its accompanying legend are reproduced below.

Figure 1.

LVDP prior to 45 min of global ischemia and during reperfusion in four groups of perfused guinea pig hearts (n = 9 for each group): 1, following 8 wk 15% ethanol-derived calories (○); 2, pair-fed controls (▵); 3, following 8 wk of ethanol, before and after 10 mM chelerythrine (●); and 4, pair-fed controls, before and after chelerythrine (■). LVDP recovery is significantly greater in hearts from ethanol-treated animals (P < 0.05 at each 6-min interval). Chelerythrine abolished ethanol’s protective effect on LVDP recovery. Data are presented as mean ± SEM (SEM not included for group 2 but lie well within SEM of groups 3 and 4).
