Abstract
Correction for ‘Lactic acid bacteria alleviate polycystic ovarian syndrome by regulating sex hormone related gut microbiota’ by Yufeng He et al., Food Funct., 2020, 11, 5192–5204, DOI: 10.1039/C9FO02554E.
The authors regret that one of the bacterial strains, HB1, was identified incorrectly in Table 1. The correct version of Table 1 is shown below.
| Strain | Species | Origin | Regional information |
|---|---|---|---|
| HL1 | Lactobacillus plantarum | Pickle | Chengdu, Sichuan Province, China |
| HL2 | Lactobacillus plantarum | Human feces, female | Huhehaote, Neimengu Province, China |
| HL3 | Lactobacillus reuteri | Human feces, female | Yangzhou, Jiangsu Province, China |
| HB1 | Lactobacillus plantarum | Human feces, female | Wuxi, Jiangsu Province, China |
| HB2 | Bifidobacterium bifidum | Human feces, female | Nantong, Jiangsu Province, China |
| HB3 | Bifidobacterium longum | Human feces, male | Zhongxiang, Hubei Province, China |
| HB4 | Bifidobacteria breve | Human feces, female | Bama, Guangxi Province, China |
| HB5 | Bifidobacteria breve | Human feces, male | Aba, Sichuan Province, China |
Consequently, sections of the text in the manuscript should be adjusted according to this change, and these are detailed below.
The sentence in section 3.6 beginning “Microbial taxa in the Diane-35…” should be correctly given as “Microbial taxa in the Diane-35, L. plantarum HL2, HB1, B. bifidum HB2, and B. breve HB5 groups are more distinguishable than those in other groups.”
In addition, the authors regret that the value of the percentage of the dioestrus phase of HB1 strain treated rats is incorrect in Table 2 due to a calculation error. The correct version of Table 2 is shown below and this change has no effect on the results of the work.
| Groups | Dioestrus phase (% of total) |
|---|---|
| Percentage of the dioestrus phase for the last 5 days of the animal protocol. Data are expressed as mean ± SD (n = 6 per group); *p < 0.05 versus the control group, #p < 0.05 versus the letrozole group (LSD test). | |
| Control | 32.00 ± 10.95# |
| Letrozole | 100.00 ± 0.00* |
| Diane-35 | 73.33 ± 24.22*# |
| HL1 | 93.33 ± 16.33* |
| HL2 | 76.67 ± 36.70*# |
| HL3 | 96.67 ± 8.16* |
| HB1 | 96.67 ± 8.16* |
| HB2 | 93.33 ± 10.33* |
| HB3 | 86.67 ± 24.22* |
| HB4 | 90.00 ± 16.73* |
| HB5 | 90.00 ± 16.73* |
