The authors and the journal apologise for errors that have occurred in the article by Fex et al. in the September issue of the Journal of Endocrinology 194 551–555, entitled ‘Rat insulin promoter 2-Cre recombinase mice bred onto a pure C57BL/6J background exhibit unaltered glucose tolerance’. In Fig. 2 on page 553, the value should be 16.7 on all relevant bars and not as published. The correct figure is published below.

Insulin secretion in isolated islets from 12-week-old female mice (n=4) in response to 2.8 and 16.7 mmol/l glucose, 1 mmol/l palmitate (PA), 35 mmol/l KCl, and 250 μmol/l diazoxide (K+dz), 100 nmol/l GLP-1, and 100 μmol/l carbacholine (Carb). White bars indicate insulin secretion from WT islets and black bars from RIP2-Cre islets. Values are given as mean±s.e.m.

Further, in the legend to Fig. 3, lane 6 represents the DNA extracted from RIP2-Cre and not as published.
