Carotenoids in Drug Discovery and Medicine: Pathways and Molecular Targets Implicated in Human Diseases
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
My comments are as below:
The abstract should include information summarising the authors' crucial findings in the form of numerical data.
The second paragraph of this manuscript's introduction needs to be significantly fleshed out and provide a clear hypothesis.
In general, there is unnecessary information repetition.
Ligand figures need to be edited; they are poorly written.
More details and references to relevant and related literature should be included in the discussion.

Reviewer 2 Report
Title: Carotenoids in Drug Discovery and Medicine: Pathways and Molecular Targets Implicated in Human DiseasesAuthors: Damilohun Samuel Metibemu, Ifedayo Victor Ogungbe
Comments:
This review paper describes carotenoids from their extraction to their use in various human diseases. The results compiled are not bad, but this work in its present form is not suitable for publication. The English writing style is poor and the review remains thematically superficial. It needs massive revision in terms of content, structure, and language.

a. We agree that the English writing style could be improved and enhanced. We have done that. Thank you for your suggestions.
b. The content is undoubtedly thematic and provides an up-to-date summary of carotenoids’ use and importance in human health. |
