Correction: A Randomized Study of the Effects of Additional Fruit and Nuts Consumption on Hepatic Fat Content, Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Basal Metabolic Rate

There is an error in the penultimate sentence under the subheading “Results” in the Abstract section. The correct sentence is: The numerical increase in fasting insulin was statistically significant only in the fruit group (from 7.73±3.1 mIE/L to 8.81±2.9 mIE/L, p = 0.018, nuts: from 7.29±2.9 mIE/L to 8.62±3.0 mIE/L, p = 0.14).

In Table 1, the Variable “Sf-Insulin” uses the unit pmol/L. The correct unit is mIE/L. Please see the corrected Table 1 here.
