This article has been corrected: In Figure 2A, the insulin concentration graph has been corrected to replace incorrect data due to clerical errors during data entry. The updated Figure 2, produced using the original data, is shown below. In addition, to maintain consistency among mean/median values, the titles of Tables 2 and 3 have been revised, along with the text in the RESULTS section - Metabolic Syndrome paragraph:

Metabolic syndrome

At baseline, markers of metabolic syndrome including median weight, WC, serum Insulin concentration in the metformin cohort were 187 lbs, 41.1 in and 8.3 mIU/L respectively, and 179.6 lbs, 40.5 in and 7.0 mIU/L in the placebo cohort. An increase in mean weight and serum insulin concentrations were seen across both cohorts from baseline to week 28 (Figure 2A and 2B). At week 28, median weight , WC and serum insulin concentration in the metformin cohort were 186.0 lbs and 11.0 mIU/L respectively (Table 2), and mean insulin and weight were highest at weeks 12 and 28; 14.7 mIU/L and 198 lbs (Figure 2A and 2B). In the placebo cohort, at week 28 median weight and serum insulin were 185 lbs and 9.2 mIU/L respectively (Table 2). At week 12 and 28, there was no statistical difference in markers of metabolic syndrome observed in both cohorts (Table 2). It is noteworthy that adjustment for change in weight (Delta) across both groups, also was without statistical difference in increase (Table 3). The authors declare that these corrections do not change the results or conclusions of this paper.
