Abstract

Expression of concern for ‘Sodium butyrate ameliorated diabetic nephropathy-associated tubulointerstitial inflammation by modulating tight junction of renal tubular epithelial cells’ by Tingting Yang et al., Food Funct., 2022, accepted manuscript, https://doi.org/10.1039/D2FO00940D.


The Royal Society of Chemistry is publishing this expression of concern in order to alert readers that concerns have been raised regarding the reliability of the western blot data.

An investigation is underway, and an expression of concern will continue to be associated with the article until a final outcome is reached.
