RETRACTION: Role of the PDK1-PKB-GSK3 Pathway in Regulating Glycogen Synthase and Glucose Uptake in the Heart.

Abstract

A. Mora, K. Sakamoto, E. J. McManus, and D. R. Alessi, "Role of the PDK1-PKB-GSK3 Pathway in Regulating Glycogen Synthase and Glucose Uptake in the Heart," FEBS Letters 579, no. 17 (2005): 3632-3638, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.febslet.2005.05.040. The above article, published online on 06 June 2005 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the authors; the journal Editor-in-Chief, Michael Brunner; FEBS Press; and John Wiley and Sons Ltd. The journal was contacted by a representative of the research integrity group at the authors' institute, since an institutional investigation revealed inappropriate splicing and duplication of image sections within Fig. 2A, B and Fig. 3A. Consequently, the conclusions of the paper are substantially compromised, and the institute has recommended the paper to be retracted. The editors of the journal agree with the retraction based on the institutional investigation.
