Versions Notes
The journal retracts the article “Myricitrin, a Glycosyloxyflavone in Myrica esculenta Bark Ameliorates Diabetic Nephropathy via Improving Glycemic Status, Reducing Oxidative Stress, and Suppressing Inflammation” [1] cited above.
Following publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding the integrity of a number of images presented in this publication [1].
Adhering to our standard procedure, an investigation was conducted by the Editorial Office and Editorial Board that identified indications of inappropriate editing and partial duplication between figures presented in this article [1] and other publications [2,3], produced by a different research group and presenting different experimental conditions. While the authors collaborated within this process, raw material meeting the journal’s requirements for original images in Molecules could not be provided for Editorial Board evaluation. Consequently, the Editorial Board has lost confidence in the reliability of the findings and has decided to retract this publication, as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30, accessed on 14 July 2025).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the journal Molecules.
The authors did not agree to this retraction.
