Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

Methods:

48 rats --> 4 group with 6 rats each = 6x4=24 rats + 6 control... 18 rats missing... please explain

The authors describe an experiment with 48 (30) rats receiving kidney bean fermented broth in low/medium or high dose vs. unfermented broth under a high fat diet. They investigate the effects on gut microbiota and impact on fat metabolism parameters.

Results are displayed concisive and in a good order: After reporting the components of both diets under investigation, their biological effect on the rats (body weight/food intakt, abdominal circumference and effect on organs and lipid levels) is described for all groups.  Next, the impact on gut microbiota is studied accross the groups using different indices. Finally the lipid parameters and microbiota/metabolites are correlated.
The discussion takes up all major findings.

Reviewer 2 Report

Your work provided interesting information related to an alternative method of hyperlipidemia and obesity management, high risk conditions with an increasing world-wide prevalence. Your results were very well described and the conclusions were supported by the complex analysis of your data.
