Retraction Note to: Ind J Clin Biochem (July-Sept 2019) 34(3):254–262 10.1007/s12291-018-0754-x
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. Concerns were raised regarding Fig. 5A: the beta-actin blot appears to be identical to the beta-actin blots of Figs. 3A and 4A of [1]. Additionally, the article shows significant overlap with an article by the same authors that was simultaneously under consideration with another journal [2]. The Editor-in-Chief therefore considers the data reported in this the article to be unreliable. None of the authors have responded to any correspondence from the editor/publisher about this retraction.
