LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Retraction of Poehlman et al. Journal of Applied Physiology 76: 2281–2287, 1994

RE: Poehlman, Eric T., Andrew W. Gardner, Paul J. Arciero, Michael I. Goran, and Jorges Calles-Escandon. Effects of endurance training on total fat oxidation in elderly persons.

This study was purported to be an extension of two earlier studies ( 1, 2). I have requested retraction of the 1992 Metabolism paper ( 2) because I intentionally omitted a material data point from the norepinephrine results for one of the seven subjects in that paper.

I now wish to report that I also intentionally omitted norepinephrine data from Table 3, Figure 1, Figure 2, and associated text of the above referenced Journal of Applied Physiology paper in order to make the association between increased sympathetic nervous system activity and endurance training, resting metabolic rate, and change in fat oxidation appear significant when the actual data did not show significance. My coauthors were unaware of my actions and I now publicly exonerate them. I take sole responsibility for the intentional omission and request that you publish this letter of retraction.

Since both the 1992 and 1994 papers relied upon results where data were intentionally omitted, it is evident that we did not replicate the results reported in the 1991 paper.
