Abstract

The above article from Photochemistry and Photobiology, published online on 6 June 2005 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), and in Volume 81, Issue 5, pp. 1174-1179, has been retracted by agreement between the Editor-in-Chief, Jean Cadet, and John Wiley and Sons Ltd. The retraction was requested by corresponding author's, Santosh K. Katiyar, former institution (University of Alabama) as a result of an internal investigation conducted by UAB into the research of the corresponding author. A joint investigation by the Birmingham Veterans Administration Medical Center and the University of Alabama at Birmingham identified several instances of image manipulation in Figure 3 and there are no available original data or records with which to confirm the published findings. As a result, conclusions stated in the published article cannot be substantiated. Reference Mantena S. K., A. M. Roy, S. K. Katiyar (2005).
