The original publication [1] was lacking a reference to a previous study [2] conducted on the same cohort of mice and published by the same authors, from which panels (a), (c), and (d) of Figure 1 (the validation of a mouse model of diabetes using the intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test) was reused without citation. The correct legend for Figure 1 is shown below.
Figure 1.
Induction scheme of diabetes mellitus (a), body weight gain (b), intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test, IPGTT (c), and intraperitoneal insulin sensitivity test, IPIST (e) in control (CTR), alisporivir-treated control (CTR+Ali), diabetic (DM), and alisporivir-treated diabetic (DM+Ali) mice. The total areas under the curve (AUC) of the IPGTT (d) and IPIST (f) are shown. The tests were conducted on the 60th day from the beginning of the experiment. ** In subfigure b, the difference between the CTR and DM+Ali groups is significant at p < 0.01. **** differences between the CTR and DM groups are significant at p < 0.0001. All data are presented as mean ± SEM (n = 5). Data in subfigures (a,c,d) are from Belosludtseva et al. Biology 2021, 10, 839, doi: 10.3390/biology10090839.
The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
