The Editor-in-Chief of Namık Kemal Medical Journal has retracted the following article:
Evaluation of the Antidepressant Effect of Propolis in Chronic Unpredictable Mild Stress-induced Depression Model in Rats, authored by Ali Taşkıran, Fadime Canbolat, Sena Nur Yücelli, and Burcu Çevreli, published in Volume 11, Issue 2, pages 94-104, with DOI 10.4274/nkmj.galenos.2023.48303.
Upon further investigation, it has been determined that an error occurred in the method section of the manuscript. Specifically, it was found that the characteristics of the kit content used for the analysis of chromatographic quantity determination of Serotonin and its metabolite were mistakenly reported.
The manufacturer of the analysis kits demanded the corresponding author to take appropriate actions in accordance with scientific research and publication ethics; therefore, the full article has been removed. All authors have agreed on the retraction.
