In “Glucagon and insulin” section of the original publication, it was incorrectly described as “glucose showed a strong and rapid suppression of both LDLR and PCSK9 proteins”, instead of “glucagon showed a suppression of PCSK9 mRNA and protein levels”. It should be read as:

“Such observation was corroborated by a study reporting how rat administered with glucagon showed a suppression of PCSK9 mRNA and protein levels, as well as a 25 % reduction in SREBP-2 mRNA expression [50].”
