Correction: Hypothermia and Rewarming Induce Gene Expression and Multiplication of Cells in Healthy Rat Prostate Tissue.

The second sentence of the final paragraph of the Introduction is incorrect. The correct sentence is: Ventral lobes of rat prostate tissues were used in determination of the relative mRNA expressions of AMR, TM and the transmembrane form of the PAcP (Quintero et al. 2007). Cellular form of PAcP in the cytosol has been suggested to down-regulate prostate cell growth in human prostate cancer cells [15].
