Unfortunately, we noticed that there has been an omission in the “Treatment plan” section of our article: “l-methionine 50 mg” was missing. Please find the complete paragraph below:

Treatment plan

Patients received the AFC (AMINOTROFIC, Errekappa Euroterapici, Milan, Italy) containing l-leucine 1,250 mg, l-lysine 650 mg, l-isoleucine 625 mg, l-valine 625 mg, l-threonine 350 mg, l-cystine 150 mg, l-histidine 150 mg, l-phenylalanine 100 mg, l-methionine 50 mg, l-tyrosine 30 mg, l-tryptophan 20 mg, vitamin B6 0.15 mg and vitamin B1 0.15 mg per sachet. The planned treatment was 1 sachet twice a day for 8 weeks. Patients were instructed to mix the entire content of the sachet with 200 ml of water and mix it for 1 min to produce an orange flavor drink. This drink was taken twice a day: in the morning immediately after breakfast and in the evening immediately after dinner. Compliance with treatment was ascertained by asking each participant to return unopened sachets. All participants were instructed to maintain their habitual dietary habits throughout the study.
