Abstract

Retraction to: Asian Journal of Andrology 2016; 18 (5): 803–8. Doi: 10.4103/1008-682X.160885. The editors have retracted this article. After publication, concerns were raised regarding a number of figures, specifically: unexpected repetitive regions of Figure 3; and Figure 4c appears to partially overlap with Figure 9B of.1 Authors failed to provide raw, uncropped images for TUNEL and Western blot analysis of the proteins in testicular homogenates. The editors, therefore, no longer have confidence in the integrity of the research presented in this article. All authors did not respond to correspondence from the Journal about this retraction.
