Reviewer 2 Report
Okoro and colleagues discussed the aging/longevity pathways, phytochemicals and their anti-aging properties in C. elegans as an aging model. This article is a well-organized review, deals with an interesting topic and contains relevant data. The followings are the general, technical and scientific comments:
- In the whole text, please follow the rule of abbreviations in the text. For the first time, use both a full and abbreviated form, next time, just use an acronym (L129 (IIS), 169, 179, 180, …).
- L126, “C. elegans” should be italicized.
- This manuscript has only one figure. I would suggest authors to draw more schematic figs to improve the quality of the manuscript.
- It’s NOT acceptable to use tables to replicate the information already presented in the text please pay more attention to that.
- Authors should format the references according to the journal instructions. Please pay attention to the title of articles, journal titles, etc. (Ref. No. 99, 102, 118,…).
