It has come to our attention that there is a mistake in Figs. 2, 3, and 4 of our manuscript entitled “Hypothalamic and pituitary expression of ghrelin receptor message is increased during lactation”, published in 2008, volume 440(3), pages 206–210. The images showing the control (cyclophilin) gels for all of the tissues are the same, when these should have been different for each tissue analyzed. The numerical data, however, did utilize the cyclophilin optical densities from each different tissue, and the data presented in the graphs

(and that were analyzed statistically) were not affected. Although these studies were carried out as far back as 2003, and the images that were used to do the optical density analyses are no longer available, we stand by both the numerical data as presented in the bar graphs, and the conclusions of this paper. We apologize for any confusion caused by our erroneous inclusion of the incorrect gels. Signed: Alfonso Abizaid, Luigi Schiavo, and Sabrina Diano.
