The Editor has retracted this article because the authors have not been able to provide evidence that they obtained appropriate approval by an animal ethics committee for this study. In addition, Fig. 4A (panel Total-ERK) appears to overlap with Fig. 4A (panel ERK 1/2) of [1]. Ching-Hu Chung disagrees with this retraction. None of the other authors has responded to correspondence from the Editor about this retraction.
