The article “Resveratrol protects myocardial apoptosis induced by ischemia-reperfusion in rats with acute myocardial infarction via blocking P13K/Akt/e-NOS pathway”, by X. Zhang, L.-F. Huang, L. Hua, H.-K. Feng, B. Shen, published in Eur Rev Med Pharmacol Sci 2019; 23 (4): 1789-1796–DOI: 10.26355/eurrev_201902_17142–PMID: 30840305 has been retracted by the Editor in Chief.

Following some concerns raised on PubPeer (link: https://pubpeer.com/publications/6A6E686494A160FBE7A1725E5CE30C) regarding figure duplication in Figures 1 and 2A, the Editor in Chief has started an investigation to assess the validity of the results as well as possible figure manipulation.

The journal investigation revealed a figure duplication between the panels AMI and AMI+RSV+LY of Figure 1.

The authors were informed about the journal’s investigation but remained unresponsive and did not provide the study’s raw data.

Consequently, the Editor in Chief mistrusts the results presented and has decided to retract the article.

This article has been retracted. The Publisher apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.
