  Western Blots from Figures 8B and 9A appear similar to Blots from Figure 4A of the article previously published by the authors in Biochemistry and Cell Biology 93 (2015) 210-226 https://doi.org/10.1139/bcb-2014-0114 and Figures 12 and 14 of the article previously published by the corresponding author et al in Biomedicine & Preventive Nutrition 4 (2014) 561-577 https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bionut.2014.08.003, although the Western Blots purportedly described different samples.
  
  Also, sections within the panels from Figures 10 and 11D appear unusually similar to each other.
  
  The explanation provided by the corresponding author was not satisfactory and the Editor decided to retract the article.
