Abstract

This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (https://www.elsevier.com/about/our-business/policies/article-withdrawal). This article has been retracted at the request of the Editor-in-Chief because of duplication of data already published in the following paper in Food & Function: “Protective effects of Angelica sinensis polysaccharide against hyperglycemia and liver injury in multiple low-dose streptozotocin-induced type 2 diabetic BALB/c mice” by Wang K et al. in Food Funct 2016; 7; 4889-4897. The following data are the same in both papers: 1 The results of liver slices of oil red O staining in JNB Figure 1 are the same as Figure 6 in Food & Function. 2 JNB Figures 1 A and B are the same as Figure 7 B in the paper in Food & Function. 3 JNB Table 1 is the same as data presented in Figures 6 A-D and parts of Figure 3 A in the paper in Food & Function.

Keywords: Inflammation; Liver injury; Oxidative stress; Polysaccharide from Angelica sinensis; Sirt1–AMPK signaling pathway; Type 2 diabetes.
