A r t i c l e A m e n d m e n t s4Concerns were recently raised with regard to the immunoblot images in Figure 5B, and it was unclear to the Editorial Board whether the position of the bands in lane 2 of the total IRS-1 blot and the O-GlcNAc was consistent with stripping and reprobing of the same membrane. An investigative committee at the University of Foggia found no evidence for image manipulation after comprehensive analysis of the available images by a noted expert in digital image analysis; however, the original raw data were unavailable for review due to a flood in the region. The authors have therefore performed a replicate experiment; the results (shown at right) are consistent with the findings originally reported in the paper.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
