Abstract
Correction for ‘Improvement effect of a next-generation probiotic L. plantarum-pMG36e-GLP-1 on type 2 diabetes mellitus via the gut–pancreas–liver axis’ by Hong Hu et al., Food Funct., 2023, 14, 3179–3195, https://doi.org/10.1039/D3FO00044C.
The authors regret that there was an error in Fig. 6. The western blot image given for Bcl-2 was duplicated in Fig. 3a and Fig. 6a. The corrected Fig. 6 is shown below.

| Fig. 6 The repair effect of L. plantarum-pMG36e-GLP-1 on the pancreas of db/db mice. (a) Western blot results of the expression ratio of Bax/Bcl-2 and p-AKT/AKT. (b) The H&E staining of the pancreas. The images in the second line are the magnified images of the red square above (magnification: ×100 or ×400, scale bar = 200 μm or 50 μm). (c) The immunofluorescence analysis of insulin in the pancreas. The images in the fourth line are the magnified images of the red square above (magnification: ×100 or ×400, scale bar = 200 μm or 50 μm). C: wild-type mice (n = 8); M: db/db mice (n = 8); Lac group: L. plantarum treated db/db mice (n = 8); Lac-G group: L. plantarum-pMG36e-GLP-1 treated db/db mice (n = 8); P group: exenatide treated db/db mice (n = 8). Data are presented as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01. | ||
