RETRACTED: Maternal nutrient restriction predisposes ventricular remodeling in adult sheep offspring

J Nutr Biochem. 2013 Jul;24(7):1258-65. doi: 10.1016/j.jnutbio.2012.10.001. Epub 2013 Jan 17.

Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief. The Journal of Nutritional Biochemistry and Editor have been informed by the University of Wyoming's Research Integrity Officer that the University conducted an examination of selected publications of Dr. Ren's under the direction of the HHS Office of Research Integrity. Based on the findings of this examination, the University of Wyoming recommended retraction of this paper, due to concerns regarding data irregularities inconsistent with published conclusions. Specifically, the University found evidence of data irregularities and image reuse in Figures 3, 5, and 6 that significantly affect the results and conclusions reported in the manuscript.
