Retraction note: Gintonin Mitigates MPTP-Induced Loss of Nigrostriatal Dopaminergic Neurons and Accumulation of α-Synuclein via the Nrf2/HO-1 Pathway (Molecular Neurobiology, (2019), 56, 1, (39-55), 10.1007/s12035-018-1020-1)

The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding some of the data presented in the figures, specifically: The data in Fig. 3c and d appear highly similar. Fig. 4b b-actin blot appears to overlap with Fig. 8a b-actin Fig. 5a b-actin lanes 3 and 4 appear highly similar to Fig. 5b b-actin lanes 3 and 4 (with rotation). Fig. 7a b-actin lanes 3 and 4 appear highly similar to Fig. 7b b-actin lanes 3 and 4 (with rotation). The data in Fig. 3c and d appear highly similar. Fig. 4b b-actin blot appears to overlap with Fig. 8a b-actin Fig. 5a b-actin lanes 3 and 4 appear highly similar to Fig. 5b b-actin lanes 3 and 4 (with rotation). Fig. 7a b-actin lanes 3 and 4 appear highly similar to Fig. 7b b-actin lanes 3 and 4 (with rotation). The authors have been able to provide the correct data for Fig. 3d, but stated that the original western blot data are no longer available. The Editor-in-Chief therefore no longer has confidence in the presented data. Min Gi Jo does not agree to this retraction. Muhammad Ikram, Myeung Hoon Jo, Kwang Chul Chung, Seung-Yeol Nah, Hongik Hwang, Hyewhon Rhim Myeong Ok Kim have not responded to any correspondence from the publisher about this retraction notice. The publisher has not been able to obtain a current email address for Lang Yoo.
