Excerpt

The authors wish to make a correction to the published version of their paper [1].

Figure 5d in the published paper is not correct One graph “(c) Liver triglycerides (mg/g)” was accidentally duplicated where graph “(d). Total amount of liver HDL-cholesterol (mg)” should have been. A correct version of the figure is included below.

Figure 5

Lipid profiles in rats fed a low-fat (LF) diet, a high-fat control diet based on lard (La), or the same La diet supplemented with 0.5 MB g/100 g (dry weight basis) (La + 0.5 MB) for 4 weeks. (a) Liver total cholesterol (mg/g, p ANOVA = 0.0116, one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Dunnett’s test); (b) liver LDL-cholesterol (mg/g, p ANOVA = 0.1092, one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Dunnett’s test); (c) liver triglycerides (mg/g, p ANOVA = 0.0116, one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Dunnett’s test); (d) total amount of liver HDL-cholesterol (mg, p ANOVA = 0.04, one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Dunnett’s test); (e) portal vein serum total cholesterol (mmol/L, p < 0.05, unpaired, two-tailed t-test); (f) portal vein serum LDL-cholesterol (mmol/L, p < 0.05, unpaired, two-tailed t-test). Values are means ± SEM (standard error of the means). Mean values were significantly different between groups: * p < 0.05. LDL-cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol; HDL-cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol.
