In an article in the July 2005 issue of Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers, & Prevention (1), Figure 1 contained two errors. Figure 1A was not the correct figure, and in Figure 1B the label on the western is IL-6 and should be Ob-R. The corrected version of Figure 1 appears below.

Figure 1.
Figure 1. A. Effect of leptin on the proliferation of YAMC (Apc+/+) and IMCE (ApcMin/+) colonic epithelial cells. Cells were treated with leptin from 0.001 to 50 ng/mL for 48 hours. Representative of three separate experiments. ⧫, P < 0.01 (compared with untreated control); *, P < 0.001 (compared with untreated control); **, P < 0.0001 (compared with untreated control). B. Western blot analysis using an antibody against Ob-R and the densitometric analysis comparing Ob-R protein from untreated YAMC (Apc+/+) and IMCE (ApcMin/+) control cells.
