Following publication of the original article [1], the authors reported that there was a mistake in the Methods section → Measurements of biomarkers (page 6, line 3): 2000g should read 2500g. So, the correct sentence should be “All samples were obtained by venipuncture into serum monovettes® and centrifuged at 2500g for 10 min at 20 °C.”
