A Correction on
Remnant cholesterol shows inverse and nonlinear associations with leukocyte telomere length and serum α-Klotho, mediated by inflammation and oxidative stress

By Xing B, Yu J, Liu Y, Gao Q, Chen X, He S, Ping F, Xu L, Li W, Zhang H and Li Y (2025) Front. Endocrinol. 16:1700349. doi: 10.3389/fendo.2025.1700349

There was a mistake in Table 2 as published. The regression coefficients for serum α-Klotho of models 3 and 4 in Table 2 were wrong. The corrected Table 2 appears below.

Table 2
www.frontiersin.org

Table 2. The multiple linear regression between RC and LTL and serum α-klotho.

There was a mistake in Figure 2c as published. There was a missing * for the total effect. The corrected Figure 2 appears below. The original version of this article has been updated.

Figure 2
Diagrams depicting the relationship between RC, various mediators, and LTL. (a) TNFα, (b) IL-6, (c) IL-1β, (d) SOD, and (e) 8-oHdG. Each has paths showing indirect, direct, and total effects with corresponding values and confidence intervals. Each mediator affects the relationship between RC and LTL differently, with asterisks indicating significance.

Figure 2. The mediation effect of inflammation and oxidative stress in the relationship between RC and LTL. (a–e) the mediation model of TNFα, IL-6, IL-1β, SOD, 8-OHdG on the correlation between RC and LTL. The model was adjusted for age, sex, BMI, WHR, ALT, AST, eGFR, SBP, DBP, HbA1c, FPG, LDL-C, HDL-C, TG, sUA, and total energy intake. The z-LTL and log-transformed TNFα, IL-6, IL-1β, SOD, and 8-OHdG were analyzed in the model. *P>0.05 means statistical difference..
