Comment on Figures 2 and 3 (of an earlier version)

  • Fig. 2: The mitochondrial pathways shown in Fig. 2 are a direct copy of a figure made available by Erich Gnaiger to Robert Boushel (and A.N.) in the context of introductory O2k-Workshops and collaborations starting in 2003/2004. The figure is a preliminary and erroneous version of the published Figure (Gnaiger 2007), since FADH2 is shown on a comparable level with NADH, a frequently observed textbook error. The corrected figure (with Succinate and NADH on a comparable level) was published in 2007 and 2009 (Gnaiger 2007, 2009). The propagation of an erroneous figure is unfortunate, and the correct citation is missing in Boushel and Saltin (2012).

  • Fig. 3: No permission was ever given to reproduce the figure in this article. A proper citation is:

  • A clarification is required on the journal level.
  • This comment is added here in the spirit of Gentle Science.

Clarification by RC Boushel

  • I have .. decided to write to the editor of IJBCB and retract our paper from the Journal. .. with sincere apologies, Rob (2012-11-15).
  • I fully agree and will request .. to have these figures removed Rob (2012-11-17).
