It has been brought to our attention that this paper [] was suspected of academic fraud. One stained tissue slice appears in both papers [,], but obviously it exposed two different situations of a mouse marked by immaturity and ovariectomy. The figure duplication brings uncertainty that the article is correct. Therefore, to ensure the addition of only high-quality scientific works to the field of scholarly publication, this paper [] is retracted and shall be marked accordingly. MDPI is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics and takes responsibility to enforce strict ethical policies and standards very seriously. We apologize to our readership that this went undetected until now.
