The Editor-in-Chief has retracted this article. Figure 2 contains several panels which appear to overlap with two earlier publications with some shared authors, specifically Fig. 4 in [1] and Fig. 5 in [2] with rotation, resizing and different brightness. The authors have been unable to provide a satisfactory response to these concerns. The Editor has lost confidence in the data and conclusions of this article.
Authors Nihed Ben Halima and Zouheir Sahnoun disagree with this retraction. Authors Sana Bardaa, Fatma Aloui, Riadh Ben Mansour, Hazem Jabeur and Mohamed Bouaziz have not responded to correspondence from the publisher regarding this retraction.
