The authors have retracted this article [1] because of modifications in the control lanes of Figs. 2a and 8a of the COX1 blot obtained for 18-week-old rats (rotation, horizontal flipping and re-use of the control lanes for the 35-week-old rats blot). In light of the concerns raised, the conclusions drawn in this article cannot be relied upon.

This retraction is supported by the authors’ institution, the Centro de Investigaciones Cardiovasculares.
