Title: Changes in microbial and metabolic profiles of mice fed with long-term high salt diet
Version: 3 Date: 27 Sep 2024
Reviewer:  Petia Kovatcheva-Datchary
Reviewer's report:
The authors did some changes in the text, but this barely addresses the reviewer comments.
Still the big limitation is that in each group only 4 mice are included. Most probably mice were
housed each group in a cage, which suggests also that the cage effect lowers the power of the
data.
Furthermore, it is unclear why the contact information for the third corresponding author: Dr.
Xianen Huang is not included in the part for Corresponding Authors?
