Following the publication of the article, the authors realized that an error had been made concerning some of the values presented. The authors take full responsibility for this oversight.

An error was made in the number of digits in the mean values of the glomerular area shown in Fig. 4B. Shown below is the new version of Fig. 4B with the correct values.

Figure 4 Effects of statins on the glomerular hypertrophy in db/db mice. (B) Mean glomerular surface area of db/m mice (m), non-treated (Con), pravastatin-treated (Pra), pitavastatin-treated (Pit) and rosuvastatin-treated (Ros) db/db mice. The mean area of fifty glomeruli per mouse was analyzed. Results are expressed as the means ± SD. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 vs. non-treated db/db mice (n=6 in each group).
