Abstract

Correction for ‘A comparative study of the hypolipidemic effects and mechanisms of action of Laminaria japonica- and Ascophyllum nodosum-derived fucoidans in apolipoprotein E-deficient mice’ by Tian Liu et al., Food Funct., 2024, 15, 5955–5971, https://doi.org/10.1039/D3FO05521C.

The authors regret that the ordinate (Y-axis) values in Fig. 3A were wrongly labelled. The corrected Fig. 3 is shown below.

Fig. 3 Effects of fucoidans on atherosclerotic plaques and hepatic lipid deposition (n = 5). (A) Food intake of the mice; (B) statistical analysis of the lesion/lumen ratio at the aortic sinus; (C) typical atherosclerotic plaque at the aortic sinus as revealed by Oil Red O; (D) hepatic TC levels; (E) hepatic TG levels. Vehi: the mice were treated with 0.5 mL of 0.9% sodium chloride by gavage; CA: the mice were treated with 25 mg kg⁻¹ of clofibric acid by gavage; TO: the mice were treated with 15 mg kg⁻¹ of T0901317 by gavage; An-L: the mice were treated with 50 mg kg⁻¹ of A. nodosum-derived fucoidan by gavage; An-H: the mice were treated with 200 mg kg⁻¹ of A. nodosum-derived fucoidan by gavage; Lj-L: the mice were treated with 50 mg kg⁻¹ of L. japonica-derived fucoidan by gavage; Lj-H: the mice were treated with 200 mg kg⁻¹ of L. japonica-derived fucoidan by gavage. * Means p < 0.05 vs. vehicle group; ** means p < 0.01 vs. vehicle group; ^## means p < 0.01 vs. CA group; ^& means p < 0.05 vs. An-H group. All the abbreviations are suitable for the remaining figures.

The Royal Society of Chemistry apologises for these errors and any consequent inconvenience to authors and readers.
