In the original version of the Article contained an error in Figure 3(E), where new representative Western blot image of the APP panel was incorrect. This change does not affect the conclusions of the Article.


The original Figure 3 and accompanying legend appear below.

Brain synaptic proteins including PSD95 (A) and synaptophysin (B) and Alzheimer’s related proteins including the ratios of Amyloid-β/APP (C) and phosphorylated-TauThr181/Tau (D) of β-thalassemic mice fed with either normal diet or high-iron diet. Three replicates of cropped representative bands for brain FGF21 signaling proteins are shown (E). In addition, full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Fig. 2. The samples derive from the same experiment and that gels/blots were processed in parallel. Actin was used as a loading control and the density of detected protein was divided by the density of actin from the sample. APP amyloid precursor protein, HFe high-iron diet fed mice, HT heterozygous-β knockout, ND normal diet fed mice, PSD95 post-synaptic density 95. *p < 0.05 vs. HT-mice fed with normal diet.
