Abstract:
The authors' accepted manuscript "Soyasaponin Aa Prevents Obesity-Related Precocious Puberty by Inhibiting Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Gonadal Axis in Female Sprague-Dawley Rats" [Neuroendocrinology. 2025; https://doi.org/10.1159/000550176] by Yunfei Jiang, Wen Xie, Dani Qin, Qiuju Zheng, Huiping Shen, and Yong Lei has been retracted by the Publisher and the Editor.After peer review, the accepted, unedited manuscript was published online as Early View. Before the final Version of Record was published, concerns were identified in the data underlying the study. The authors were asked to comment on the concerns. Review of the concerns and the authors' response resulted in the Editor's decision to rescind the original, provisional acceptance decision and reject the manuscript. Consequently, the published author's accepted manuscript has been retracted.The authors have been informed of this decision.

Relaxation of Skeletal Muscles
When an action potential reaches the axon terminal, it depolarizes the membrane and opens voltage-gated sodium channels. Sodium ions enter the cell, further depolarizing the presynaptic membrane. This depolarization causes voltage-gated calcium channels to open....
