Retraction: 5-aminosalicylic acid improves lipid profile in mice fed a high-fat cholesterol diet through its dual effects on intestinal PPARγ and PPARα (PLoS ONE (2018) 13,1 (e0191485) DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0191485)

After publication of this work [1], PLOS ONE was notified of several concerns: · The second and third authors (DK, MH) were not aware of and did not approve this submission to PLOS ONE;MH passed away in 2016, before this manuscript was submitted to PLOS ONE. Incorrect email addresses for these authors were provided to the journal when the manuscript was submitted. · Questions were raised as to whether the corresponding author had appropriate permissions to publish the data, and whether author contributions had been accurately reported. · The research reported in Figs 1±3 and the qPCR data for PPARα and PPARγ were reported in a previously published article [2] that was not cited or discussed in [1]. In light of these concerns, the authors and PLOS ONE Editors retract this article [1]. ZW, DK, and ZB agreed with the retraction.
