RETRACTION: Synthesis and Cardiovascular Protective Effects of Quercetin 7‐O‐Sialic Acid

TL;DR
This retracted paper originally claimed to synthesize a compound with cardiovascular benefits, but was withdrawn due to duplicated images in the figures.
Contribution
The paper's synthesis and cardiovascular protective effects findings were retracted due to image duplication issues.
Findings
The paper was retracted due to duplicated images in Figures 3 and 5.
The authors could not provide uncropped western blot raw data to address concerns.
The retraction affects the interpretation of the data and results.
