In the article "Calpain Is a Major Cell Death Effector in Selective Striatal Degeneration Induced In Vivo by 3-Nitropropionate: Implications for Huntington's Disease," by Nicolas Bizat, Jean-Michel Hermel, Frédéric Boyer, Carine Jacquard, Christophe Créminon, Stéphane Ouary, Carole Escartin, Philippe Hantraye, Stan Krajewski, and Emmanuel Brouillet, which appeared on pages 5020–5030 of the June 15, 2003 issue, errors were uncovered in calculation spreadsheets used for determining absolute values of the proteolytic activities of caspase-3, caspase-8, caspase-9, and calpain using fluorimetric assays. Correcting the errors does not change the significance or interpretation of the study. However, the magnitude of changes induced by 3-NP is less than that initially reported. Corrected absolute values found in the striatum of control rats and at time points at which 3-NP treatment produced significant changes in the striatum are shown in the table below.
