In the article “Gamma-Linoleic Acid and Ascorbate Improves Skeletal Ossification in Offspring of Diabetic Rats” (Pediatr Res 51:647–652, 2002), the acknowledgments on p. 651 read “… This paper is dedicated to the memory of our friend and colleague Dr. Ruth Garland.”

It should read “… This paper is dedicated to the memory of our friend and colleague Dr. Hugh O. Garland.” The publisher regrets this error.
