In the original publication [1], there was a mistake in Figure 3, Panel A, in which the authors presented a picture very similar to another proposed in a paper published at a different time [2]. The corrected Figure 3 appears below. The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.

Figure 3. Assessment of apoptosis in the different groups of rat testes with TUNEL stain. (A) In the testes of all sham rats, no TUNEL-positive cells were present. (B,C) Many TUNEL-positive cells (arrow) were seen in the wall of the seminiferous tubules of I/R + vehicle rats and in CL testes of the same group. (D,E) In I/R + PDRN alone-treated rats and in the CL testes of the same group, TUNEL-positive cells (arrow) were decreased when compared with I/R rats. (F,G) In I/R + Se-treated rats and in CL testes of the same group, only isolated TUNEL-positive cells were present. (H,I) In I/R rats treated with the association PDRN + Se, in both operated and CL testes, only rarely isolated TUNEL-positive germ cells were observed. (J) Tubules with apoptotic cells (TWAC) (expressed in %) in the different groups of rats. (K) Apoptotic index values (apoptotic cells/tubule) in the different groups of rats. * p ≤ 0.05 versus sham group; § p ≤ 0.05 versus I/R rats (scale bar: (A,DI) = 100 μm; (B,C) = 50 μm).
