Abstract
Expression of concern for ‘The protective effects of the Ganoderma atrum polysaccharide against acrylamide-induced inflammation and oxidative damage in rats’ by Guoyong Jiang et al., Food Funct., 2021, 12, 397–407, https://doi.org/10.1039/D0FO01873B.
The Royal Society of Chemistry is publishing this expression of concern in order to alert readers that concerns have been raised regarding the integrity of the in vivo data in Fig. 5.
The authors have stated that they made an error in the original article and the experiments were carried out in liver tissue, not in serum as described. An independent expert has reviewed the changes and raised concerns with the reliability of both the original and corrected data.
The Royal Society of Chemistry has asked the affiliated institution (Nanchang University) to investigate this matter and confirm the integrity and reliability of the data provided by the authors.
An expression of concern will continue to be associated with the article until we receive conclusive evidence regarding the reliability of the reported data.
