Retracted: 'Anti-fibrotic actions of Ghrelin by inhibition of the NADPH oxidase-ROS signaling pathway' by Qian Wang, Xin Sui, Rui Chen, Peiyong Ma, Tao Ding, Dianjun Sui, and Ping Yang.

The above article, published online on 17 April 2018 in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com), has been withdrawn by agreement between the authors, the journal Editor in Chief, Prof. Jun-Ping Liu, and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. The authors have withdrawn the paper due to the lack of reproducibility of some of the findings reported in the paper during the consequent experimental work (in particular, the numeric data related to the levels of proteins involved into or responsive to induction of NADPH oxidase pathway). Although these discrepancies do not affect the major conclusions of the paper, the possible presence of incorrect experimental data requires serious revision of the manuscript and thus necessitates the withdrawal of the article.
