There are two errors in the Materials and methods section:

  1. 1.

    In the single sentence in the subsection “AMI assessment”, “serum” should be “plasma”. The correct sentence is: “The occurrence of AMI in rats was assessed by measuring plasma concentration of LDH, CK, and CK-MB before surgery (T0), and at 6 and 24 h following AMI induction.”

  2. 2.

    In the first paragraph of the subsection “Blood and plasma sample collection”, the weight range of the animals studied was given incorrectly. The correct sentence is: “Whole blood was collected from 50, 5-to 7-week-old (250–350 g body weight), male nude rats, strain Crl:NIH-Fox1rnu between the months of October and December, 2007.”
