Erratum to: Tetrahydrobiopterin, L-Arginine and Vitamin C Act Synergistically to Decrease Oxidative Stress, Increase Nitric Oxide and Improve Blood Flow after Induction of Hindlimb Ischemia in the Rat

The April 2012 issue of Molecular Medicine contained a report from Yan et al.: Tetrahydrobiopterin, L-Arginine and Vitamin C Act Synergistically to Decrease Oxidative Stress, Increase Nitric Oxide and Improve Blood Flow after Induction of Hindlimb Ischemia in the Rat. Through an error in the final processing of the manuscript, the Journal published an interim version of the author’s work, not the final version approved by the reviewers and editorial board. Specifically, during the review of an earlier iteration of the manuscript, the reviewers had requested additional experiments, and the authors had performed those experiments and included them in a revised manuscript ultimately accepted by the editorial board. Unfortunately, these additional experiments, and the discussion of them, were not a portion of the article that was published in the April 2012 issue of the Journal.

Given that the authors responded in good faith to the reviewers and editorial board, the Journal does not want this error to reflect poorly on the authors. Instead, to remediate the aforementioned problems, in this current August issue of Molecular Medicine, the editorial board has elected to publish the entire final version of the manuscript, as previously accepted by the Journal. The Journal requests that all future references to this research cite the article published in this August issue of Molecular Medicine: i.e., Jinglian Yan, Guodong Tie, and Louis M Messina. Tetrahydrobiopterin, L-Arginine and Vitamin C Act Synergistically to Decrease Oxidant Stress and Increase Nitric Oxide That Increases Blood Flow Recovery after Hindlimb Ischemia in the Rat. Mol. Med. 18(8):1221–1230.
