      <title>Reason for Retraction</title>
      <p>This is a retraction notice. VIEW THE RETRACTED ARTICLE (<ext-link xlink:href="https://doi.org/10.14302/issn.2379-7835.ijn-20-3188" ext-link-type="uri">https://doi.org/10.14302/issn.2379-7835.ijn-20-3188</ext-link>), which was published on 14 February 2020</p>
      <p>This notice is issued by the Editor-in-Chief on behalf of the <bold>International Journal of Nutrition (Open Access Pub)</bold>.</p>
      <p><bold>Citation of retracted article:</bold> P.A. Karavay; L.I. Nefyodov; N.L. Karavay (2020). <italic>Amino Acid Imbalance in Atherosclerosis. </italic>International Journal of Nutrition<italic> 5(2): 15–23. DOI: </italic>10.14302/issn.2379-7835.ijn-20-3188<italic>. </italic>Published: 14 February 2020.</p>
      <p><bold>Reason for retraction:</bold> Following an editorial investigation, we confirmed <bold>redundant (duplicate) publication</bold>. A substantially similar article by the same authors was <bold>previously published</bold> in <italic>Journal of Clinical &amp; Community Medicine on </italic>03 February 2020<italic>: </italic><italic>Karavay</italic><italic> PA; </italic><italic>Nefyodov</italic><italic> LI; </italic><italic>Karavay</italic><italic> NL. Amino Acid Imbalance in Atherosclerosis. </italic>1(3)<italic>; </italic>DOI: 10.32474/JCCM.2020.01.000114<italic>. The earlier publication constitutes the version of record. The later IJN publication did not disclose prior publication or meet the criteria for acceptable secondary publication.</italic></p>
      <p><bold>Process:</bold> The investigation followed COPE guidance for handling redundant publication. The corresponding author(s) and the editor of the other journal were notified and given the opportunity to respond prior to this decision. The Editor-in-Chief determined that retraction is required to correct the scholarly record.</p>
      <p><bold>Record status:</bold> The retracted article remains available to maintain the scholarly record and is clearly marked <bold>RETRACTED</bold> on the HTML and PDF. This notice links to the article, and the article links to this notice. The article’s open-license terms remain unchanged.</p>
      <p><bold>Approvals:</bold> Approved by the Editor-in-Chief of <italic>International Journal of Nutrition. </italic></p>
      <p><bold>Date of retraction: </bold>18 March 2021.</p>
