RETRACTED: Asdaq et al. Cucumis melo Enhances Enalapril Mediated Cardioprotection in Rats with Isoprenaline Induced Myocardial Injury. Processes 2021, 9, 557

The Processes Editorial Office retracts the article titled “Cucumis melo Enhances Enalapril Mediated Cardioprotection in Rats with Isoprenaline Induced Myocardial Injury” [1], cited above.

Following publication, concerns were brought to the Editorial Office regarding a number of image duplications within this article [1] and with an earlier publication [2] produced by a similar authorship group.

Adhering to our standard procedure, the Editorial Office and Editorial Board conducted an investigation that identified indications of duplication and inappropriate editing within panels contained within Figures 1 and 3, presenting different experimental conditions. Additionally, further image duplications were identified between panels contained within Figures 1 and 3 in [1] and Figure 1 in [2], also presenting different experimental conditions. While the authors collaborated within this process, they were unable to provide raw material of suitable quality for Editorial Board evaluation. As a result, the Editorial Board has lost confidence in the reliability of the findings and has decided to retract this publication [1] as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30).

This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of Processes.

The authors did not agree to this retraction.
