# RETRACTION: Adiponectin Protects Skeletal Muscle From Ischaemia–Reperfusion Injury in Mice through miR‐21/PI3K/Akt Signalling Pathway

## TL;DR

This retracted paper claimed that adiponectin protects skeletal muscle from injury in mice via a specific signaling pathway.

## Contribution

The paper proposed a novel mechanism involving miR-21/PI3K/Akt signaling in the protective role of adiponectin.

## Key findings

- Adiponectin was reported to reduce skeletal muscle injury in mice.
- The miR-21/PI3K/Akt pathway was suggested as a key mediator of this protection.
