The data presented in the original Supplemental Figure 3 were incorrectly calculated. The data were described as amino acid concentration divided by tissue weight, however the figure displayed non-normalized amino acid concentrations. The authors apologize for the mistake. A corrected Supplemental Figure 3 and figure legend are displayed below. This correction does not, in any way, compromise the findings of the study, either in terms of the methodology, results, or interpretations drawn from the data therein.

BCAA_spl__spl__spl_Figure S3 170519submit

Figure S3. Concentration of BCAAs in eyes increased in a dose-dependent manner. Related to Materials & Methods. BCAA concentrations in eyeballs were measured 2 hours after a single administration of BCAAs (the doses for intraperetonial injection were 0, 0.375, 0.75, or 1.5 g/kg; the dose for oral administration was 0.75 g/kg). Eyeballs of 2-month-old wild-type mice were enucleated after pentobarbital overdose. Immediately after enucleation, eyeballs were weighed and then frozen. Concentration of (A) leucine (Leu), (B) isoleucine (Ile), and (C) valine (Val) were measured at Ajinomoto Co. using a UF-Amino Station system. Key: C, no administration control; Peritoneal, intraperitoneal administration of BCAAs; Oral, oral administration of BCAAs. *p < 0.05, unpaired t-test, vs. no administration control.
