Title: Plasma and fecal zonulin are not altered by a high green leafy vegetable dietary
intervention: secondary analysis of a randomized control crossover trial.

Reviewer's report:
First, I would like to thank the authors for improving the manuscript. I feel that it is much
improved. However, I still have some minor concerns, especially regarding the statistical
analysis:
1. A power calculation is obligatory to assess whether this design can explore the hypothesis.
2. I still feel that non-parametric statistics will be more appropriate. However, parametric
statistics might be added to the supplementary.
3. Regarding the anthropometric measurements, I would like to see the actual numbers. The
declaration of no significant changes is insufficient, and data should be shown.
