Title:Inhibitory effects of astaxanthin on azoxymethane-induced colonic
preneoplastic lesions in C57/BL/KsJ-db/db mice
Version:3Date:30 October 2014
Reviewer: Jayadev Raju
Reviewer's report:
For authors:
The authors (Kochi et al.) have addressed all queries satisfactorily. There are a
few suggestions the authors could consider as - Minor Essential Revisions, which
the authors can be trusted to make.
1. Table 2: "Body weight" not "Body weigh"
2. Table 2: Please remove superscript "b" from Line 2, Column 4 of Table. Add
superscript "b" to Line 1, Columns 4 and 5 as in "Body weight (g)b" and "(g/100 g
body weight)b". The authors may choose to switch the lettering sequence
between the Mean values (b) and the adipose type (a).
3. Table 3: Please follow the same format as suggested in Point 2.
4. Table 3: The authors may wish to replace Total Number of ACs/colon in
Column 5 to crypt multiplicity (Average number of crypts per foci) data.
5. Table 3: There is no reference to superscript "d" in the table, although there is
mention in the footnote. There seems to be some confusion in assigning
superscript referring to the statistical significance. Please check.
