This article has been withdrawn by the authors. The LKB1 immunoblot from Fig. 1D was reused in Fig. 7D. The AMPK immunoblot from Fig. 2A was reused in Fig. 3A. Figs. 3C and 5 (A and B) contained splices. The authors state that the duplications of the blots occurred during the assembly of the paper. The undeclared splicings in Fig. 5 (A and B) were between the same immunoblots. The authors offered to published amended figures based upon those data and, alternatively, offered to repeat the experiments. However, the Journal declined both offers, a decision with which the authors respectfully disagree. Further, the results of this paper are confirmed by the results of complementary experiments presented in the manuscript, and the principal conclusion was further confirmed in publications from other laboratories (Ma, L. et al. (2012) PLoS One 7, e46055; Rossoni, L. V. et al. (2011) Clin. Sci. (Lond.) 121, 449–458; Dong, Q. et al. (2011) Int. J. Cardiol. 153, 311–316; and Chen, Z. et al. (2009) Circ. Res. 104, 496–505). The authors state that any errors in the construction of figures in the paper do not alter the scientific conclusions of the work, and they stand by the conclusions of the paper.
