A Corrigendum on
Nickel oxide nanoparticles exposure as a risk factor for male infertility: “In vitro” effects on porcine pre-pubertal Sertoli cells

By Arato I, Giovagnoli S, Di Michele A, Bellucci C, Lilli C, Aglietti MC, Bartolini D, Gambelunghe A, Muzi G, Calvitti M, Eugeni E, Gaggia F, Baroni T, Mancuso F and Luca G (2023). Front. Endocrinol. 14:1063916. doi: 10.3389/fendo.2023.1063916

In the published article, there was an error in Figure 6 panel A as published. Duplicate image for four loading controls that were used by our group one year before in Figure 5A of Mancuso et al., 2022, where the conditions are different (TiO2-NPs). The corrected Figure 6 panel A and its caption “Caspase-3 Evaluation by WB analysis. (A) Immunoblots of caspase-3 p35, p19, and p17 in SCs at 24h and 1, 2, and 3 weeks of incubation with NiO-NPs at 1 and 5mg/ml” appear below.

Densitometric analysis of the protein bands of caspase-3 p35 (B), p19 (C), and p17 (D) in SCs at 24 h and 1, 2, and 3 weeks of incubation with NiO NPs 1 and 5 μg/ml. Data represent the mean ± SEM (**p < 0.001 vs. 0 NiO NPs of three independent experiments, each performed in triplicate).
