In the article titled “CD36-Mediated Lipid Accumulation and Activation of NLRP3 Inflammasome Lead to Podocyte Injury in Obesity-Related Glomerulopathy” [1], there were some input errors in Table 3 as the unit of kidney weight “mg,” Lee's index “g/cm,” and urinary protein “mg/d” are wrong and should be corrected as kidney weight “g,” Lee's index “g1/3/cm,” and urinary protein “μg/d.” The corrected version of Table 3 is as follows:
Table 3.
Group | Control | Model |
---|---|---|
Body weight (g) | 28.9 ± 1.8 | 31.9 ± 1.9∗ |
Kidney weight (g) | 0.34 ± 0.03 | 0.37 ± 0.02∗ |
Lee's index (g1/3/cm) | 16.86 ± 0.38 | 17.64 ± 0.56∗ |
Visceral fat index | 0.02 ± 0.01 | 0.05 ± 0.02∗ |
Urinary protein (μg/d) | 801.5 ± 178.9 | 1001.7 ± 230.1∗ |
Serum creatinine (μmol/L) | 11.3 ± 0.8 | 10.4 ± 1.1 |
Creatinine clearance rate (mL/min) | 0.4 ± 0.1 | 0.7 ± 0.2∗ |
Serum triglyceride (mmol/L) | 0.5 ± 0.1 | 0.9 ± 0.4∗ |
Serum cholesterol (mmol/L) | 2.2 ± 0.4 | 3.6 ± 0.3∗ |
Blood glucose (mmol/L) | 9.5 ± 0.6 | 9.8 ± 1.3 |
∗ P < 0.05 vs. control group.
