A Correction on
α-Mangostin alleviated inflammation in rats with adjuvant-induced arthritis by disrupting adipocytes-mediated metabolism-immune feedback

by Hu Y-H, Han J, Wang L, Shi C, Li Y, Olatunji OJ, Wang X and Zuo J (2021). Front. Pharmacol. 12:692806. doi: 10.3389/fphar.2021.692806

There was a mistake in Figure 3C as published. A tissue image from a concurrently conducted study was erroneously used. The corrected Figure 3 appears below.

Figure 3
Panels depicting experimental data and analyses. Panel A shows three photographs of rat hind paws labeled Normal, AIA, and MAN. Panel B features bar charts comparing serum levels of IL-1β and IL-6 among Normal, AIA, and MAN groups, highlighting differences with markers. Panel C displays tissue samples from each group. Panel D presents a bar chart of the fat pad weight index. Panel E includes microscopic images of tissue sections for each group, labeled Normal, AIA, and MAN. Charts and data visualize changes in body weight and inflammatory markers over time with statistical annotations.

Figure 3. MAN restored fat reservoir loss in AIA rats. (A) local inflammation in paws and body weight changes of rats; (B) levels of IL-1β and IL-6 in rat serum; (C), images of perirenal fat pad; (D) relative weight index of fat pad; (E) histological examination of WAT. Statistical significance: *p < 0.05 and **p < 0.01 compared with AIA rats [n = 6 in image (A,B), n = 5 in image (D)].
