Abstract

The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article because of concerns regarding the figures presented in this work. These concerns call into question the article's overall scientific soundness. An investigation conducted after its publication discovered the following issues: The right half of the ROSC 120 min. Panel in Figure 1, when re-scaled, appears to overlap with the left half of the MB + ROSC 120 min. Panel in the same figure. These Panels represent tissues taken from animals subject to different experimental conditions; The right half of the MB + ROSC 120 min. Panel of Figure 1, when re-scaled, appears to overlap with the left half of the MB + ROSC 180 min. Panel in the same figure. These Panels represent tissues taken from animals subject to different experimental conditions. The right half of the ROSC 120 min. Panel in Figure 1, when re-scaled, appears to overlap with the left half of the MB + ROSC 120 min. Panel in the same figure. These Panels represent tissues taken from animals subject to different experimental conditions; The right half of the MB + ROSC 120 min. Panel of Figure 1, when re-scaled, appears to overlap with the left half of the MB + ROSC 180 min. Panel in the same figure. These Panels represent tissues taken from animals subject to different experimental conditions. The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the integrity of the research presented in this article. Hari S. Sharma and Aruna Sharma disagree with this retraction.
