Title:The effect of psychological stress on iron absorption in rats
Version: 2Date:16 October 2009
Reviewer: Gaelle Boudry
Reviewer's report:
The author's have significantly improved the manuscript with their corrections
and additional information. They have addressed most of my concerns. There
are still some mispelling and grammatical errors e.g.:
line 11-12 of the abstract chnage "expression of DMT1 had no change" to
"expression of DMTA did not change"
page 3 change "is being normal" by "is normal", change the sentence "However
the involved..." by "However, the molecular mechnanisms explaing how..."
page 4 change "demonstrated" by described, "weighting" by "weighing"
page 6 change "the diets changed" by "the diets were changed", "not include the
second" by "not including the second" and "shown" by "expressed"
page 8 change 'under condition 200 mA" by "under conditions of 200 mA during
120 min"
page 9 change "was considered statistically significant difference" by "was
considered as a statistically significant difference"
page 10 change "DMT1 expression" as for the abstract
page 11 change 'in present study" by "in the present study"
page 13 remove the "and" before interleukine (IL-6) can..., rewrite the sentence
"based onivestigations...iron absorption.", same for (In present study, the iron
intake....with other's studies"
Last comment, why are the CORT, ACTH and NE data avalaible only for PS 7d ?
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Needs some language corrections before being
published
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a
statistician.
