Retraction Note to: Metabolic Brain Disease (2020) 35:483–495
The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding data similarities between Fig. 7 in this article and the authors’ other publications [1,2,3]. Further checks by the publisher have found that there appear to be vertical breaks in some of the western blot backgrounds, and some bands appear highly similar, e.g. Figure 5a GFAP lanes 5 and 6; Fig. 8a Caspase-3 lanes 1 and 2, and 3 and 4.
The authors have stated that the raw data are not presently available.
The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data.
The authors do not agree to this retraction.
