Reviewer 1 Report

I am pleased to read this research results indicate that ABE feed- 24 ing could improve insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis by decreasing LCN2-mediated inflam- 25 mation and oxidative stress in HFD-fed mice, and Adzuki bean has this function.

Adzuki bean can  preventing lipid accumulation and adipocytokine 286 production and improving glucose tolerance. it's very important.

I suggestion to add a picture of Adzuki bean in the paper, so that common people reading this paper can know exactly which plant it is.
