anomalies:Lanes 5–8 of the Total

3B appear to be duplicates, and these images appear to have
been previously published in the IB: Foxo1 strip of Fig. 5A in
the following paper:∘ Ropelle et
al. J Physiol 2009;587:2341–2351. DOI: 10.1113/jphysiol.2009.170050. PMID:

Total Akt strip in Fig. 2I appear to have been later republished,
with horizontal rotation, as the IB:Tub strip in Fig. 1B (LH) in
the following paper:∘ Prada et
al. Diabetes 2013;62:137–148. DOI: 10.2337/db11-1388. PMID

strip in Fig. 5D appear to be duplicates of lanes 2 and 3 of the

have therefore decided that the best course of action is to retract the article. The
authors apologize to the scientific community and will seek to publish another article to
corroborate the findings of this work.
