Modulation of hypothalamic PTP1B in the TNF-α-induced insulin and leptin resistance.

Abstract

The above article, published online on 2 June 2010 in Wiley Online Library (http://wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the authors, the Journal Managing Editor, Felix Wieland, and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., on behalf of the Federation of European Biochemical Societies. The retraction has been agreed following concerns, brought to the editors attention, around data present in Figures 2 A-P and Figure3 A-F that indicate the use of software to edit the images in ways that invalidate the published figures as a record of the original data. The authors no longer have the original figure files to answer the queries and have therefore agreed that the best course of action is to retract the article. The authors believe the results of the research are scientifically sound and will seek to corroborate them.
