The original version of the Article contained an error in Figure 1.

As a result of an error during figure assembly, the NC (normal chow) panel in Figure 1E was mistakenly a duplication of the FIR1 (39 °C) panel.

The original Figure 1 and accompanying legend appear below.

Effect of FIR on hepatic lipid deposition in MAFLD mouse model. Liver tissues and serum were harvested from mice fed with NC (normal chow) or MCD diet and subsequently treated with FIR1 (39 °C) or FIR2 (41 °C), for 1 h every alternate day. (a) Weekly body weight; (b,c) final body weight, liver weight; (d) liver weight to body weight ratio; (e) gross livers, H&E staining and oil red O staining of liver sections; (f,g) hepatic levels of TG, TC; (hk) serum levels of TG, TC, HDL-C and LDL-C; (lp) mRNA expression of 5 genes normalized against Hprt; (q) protein levels of 6 proteins with β-tubulin as internal reference; (r,s) normalized ratio of phosphorylated to total protein fluorescence intensity in three independent experiments. Asterisks indicate statistical significance (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, and ****p < 0.0001) compared to the MCD diet group.

The original Article has been corrected.
