RETRACTION: Posttreatment of Melatonin With CCl4 Better Reduces Fibrogenic and Oxidative Changes in Liver Than Melatonin Co-treatment

RETRACTION: K. Mortezaee, J. Majidpoor, E. Daneshi, M. Abouzaripour, and M. Abdi, “Posttreatment of Melatonin With CCl4 Better Reduces Fibrogenic and Oxidative Changes in Liver Than Melatonin Co-treatment,” Journal of Cellular Biochemistry 119, no. 2 (2018): 1716-1725, https://doi.org/10.1002/jcb.26331.

The above article, published online on 7 August 2017 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been retracted by agreement between the journal Editor-in-Chief, Christian Behl; and Wiley Periodicals LLC. The retraction has been agreed upon due to concerns about the accuracy of the data presented in the article. The authors informed the journal of significant errors in the compilation of Figure 2. Subsequent investigation by the publisher revealed that several image elements in Figure 2 had been previously published by the same author group to illustrate different staining and/or treatment. The authors acknowledged that these mistakes may have resulted from problems in data management while performing similar experiments for different research projects. Therefore, due to the concerns on data accuracy, the editors consider the conclusions of this article to be invalid.
