Errors in Tables

In the original publication [1], there were mistakes in Tables 2, 3, 5, 6 as published. The publication years of Ma (2017), Tang (2012), and Krüger (2005) were incorrect. The corrected reference should be Ma (2018) in Tables 2, 3, 5, 6 and Tang (2010) and Krüger (2015) in Tables 2 and 3.

In Table 2, the concentration of CS Exposure in Gosker (2009) was not mentioned, and the conc. of HbCO = 8.3% should be deleted. The reported age of 6–8 weeks and the exposure period of 16 weeks in De Paepe (2008) were incorrect. The correct age was 8 weeks, and the exposure period was 18 weeks.

In Table 4, the data of the gastrocnemius in C57Bl/6 mice missed Gosker’s (2009) data. The data of type I and types II_a_, II_b_, and II_x_ of the gastrocnemius at 24 weeks of CS exposure in Gosker (2009) should be added; there was no significant difference.

Text Correction

There was an error in the original publication.

The in-text description of nine studies is on pages 11, 12, 14, and 15. A correction has been made to ten studies on pages 11, 12, 14, and 15. Five out of the ten studies examined muscle fiber proportions in the soleus of C57Bl/6 mice [23,26,29,30] and Wistar–Kyoto rats [32]. (p. 11, subheading: Lower Limb Muscle—Soleus, line 1); four out of the ten studies evaluated muscle fiber proportions in the gastrocnemius of guinea pigs [9] and C57Bl/6 mice [23,25,26] (p. 11, subheading: Lower Limb Muscle—Gastrocnemius, line 1); Three out of ten studies included assessed the muscle fiber proportion in the EDL of C57Bl/6 mice [29,30] and Wistar-Kyoto rats [31]. One out of ten studies [26] examined the muscle fiber proportion in the plantaris and tibialis of C57Bl/6 mice (p. 11, subheading: Lower Limb Muscle—Other Muscles, line 1); one out of the ten studies examined the CSA of the quadriceps after CS exposure for 24 weeks in Balb/c mice [24] (p. 12, subheading: Lower Limb Muscle—Quadriceps, line 1); three out of the ten studies examined the CSA of the soleus in C57Bl/6 mice [23,29] and Wistar–Kyoto rats [32] (p. 14, subheading: Lower Limb Muscle—Soleus, line 1); four out of the ten studies examined the CSA of types I and II muscle fibers in the gastrocnemius of guinea pigs [9], C57Bl/6 mice [23,25], and 129/SvJ mice [28] (p. 14, subheading: Lower Limb Muscle—Gastrocnemius, line 1); two out of the ten studies examined the CSA of the EDL after CS exposure in C57Bl/6 mice [29] and Wistar–Kyoto rats [31] (p. 15, subheading: Lower Limb Muscle—EDL, line 1). The incorrect statement in the original publication stated that “a significantly higher proportion of type I fibers and lower proportion of type II fibers were observed after CS exposure for 18 [25], 24, and 32 weeks [23]” (p. 11, subheading: Lower Limb Muscle—Gastrocnemius, line 6). However, upon further review, it has been determined that the correct observation is “a significantly lower proportion of type I fibers and higher proportion of type II fibers were observed after CS exposure for 18 [25], 24, and 32 weeks [23].”

As Ref. 26 is added (p. 5, Section 3.3.4. Concentration of CS Exposure, line 2), the number of cigarettes per week is 109 ± 39 cigarettes per week.
