RETRACTED: Ameliorative effect of vitamin C on hexavalent chromium-induced delay in sexual maturation and oxidative stress in developing Wistar rat ovary and uterus

Abstract

At the request of the Editor and the Publisher, the following article:

Samuel JB, Stanley JA, Vengatesh G, Princess RA, Muthusami S, Roopha DP, Suthagar E, Kumar KM, Sebastian MS, Aruldhas MM. (2012) Ameliorative effect of vitamin C on hexavalent chromium-induced delay in sexual maturation and oxidative stress in developing Wistar rat ovary and uterus, Toxicology and Industrial Health 28(8): 720-733. DOI: 10.1177/0748233711422728

has been retracted from Toxicology and Industrial Health due to redundant publication by the same group of authors in another journal:

Samuel JB, Stanley JA, Roopha DP, Vengatesh G, Anbalagan J, Banu SK, Aruldhas MM. (2011) Lactational hexavalent chromium exposure-induced oxidative stress in rat uterus is associated with delayed puberty and impaired gonadotropin levels, Human & Experimental Toxicology 30(2):91-101. DOI: 10.1177/0960327110364638

The two papers have used the same data and reporting with the Toxicology and Industrial Health manuscript inserting Vitamin C to differ the reporting. Additionally, the Toxicology and Industrial Health manuscript does not provide citations to original work by another author.
