The Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research received a request from the authors to withdraw this manuscript. Meanwhile, the Editors became aware of a denouncement published by independent journalists from the “For Better Science” website including this paper. This denouncement consisted of potential data falsification and/or inaccuracy of results in western blots and flow cytometry plots.
