This article has been corrected: The authors corrected Table 3, “Sequence of primers for RT-PCR and long PCR,” because they forgot to update this table before submission. The primers used in the study were changed three times before a set that worked was synthesized and verified by “Sangon Biotech.” They also found and corrected a duplication in Figure 5B created during the figure assembly - column chart “PGC-1α” replicates column chart “Fis1.” Correction was done with data from the original sets of Western blots for PGC-1α protein. These corrections have no impact on the experimental outcome or conclusions.

The corrected Table 3 and Figure 5 are presented below.

JPYS improved mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics in premature ovarian failure (POF) rats. Rats were treated with JPYS (11.0 g/kg.d) and pre-treated with triptorelin (1.5 mg/kg) followed by intraperitoneally injected cyclophosphamide (50 mg/kg). We used real-time qPCR and western blot to detect mitochondrial biogenesis and dynamics. We chose OPA1, Mfn1, and Mfn2 to represent mitochondrial biogenesis function, and PGC-1α to represent the dynamic mitochondrial fusion, and Drp1 and Fis1 to represent mitochondrial fission. The expression of OPA1, Mfn1, Mfn2, PGC-1α, Drp1, and Fis1 in mRNA (A) and protein (B) levels. Data are shown as mean ± SD. *p #p △p
