Title:Expression of energy metabolism related genes in the gastric tissue of
obese individuals with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease
Version:1Date:17 November 2013
Reviewer: anja geerts
Reviewer's report:
Major comments:
- The place of the biopsy in the stomac tissue (antrum, fundus?,..) ? Always the
same place? Could it make a difference concerning the region of the biopsy in
the stomach tissue?
- It would be very interesting to compare these data with data on sstomach tissue
6 months to 1 year after the bariatric surgery.
- The difference in gene expressions in the stomach tissue : is this a
consequence of the steatosis of steatohepatitis? Or is it a trigger in the
development of steatotis or steatohepatitis?
Level of interest: An article whose findings are important to those with closely
related research interests
Quality of written English: Acceptable
Statistical review: No, the manuscript does not need to be seen by a statistician.
