Impact of Glucocorticoids on Cardiovascular System—The Yin Yang Effect
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The topic is actual and may add some crucial information in the field of using Glucocorticoids in patients with cardiovascular diseases.
The part (about 28%) of references is more than 10 years, so, it would be the good way to update the references list

Reviewer 2 Report
The present article is an overview of the effect of GCs on cardiovascular system and goes in detail to analyze the Yin-Yang effect of GCs at various life stages to understand how important it is to maintain a GC homeostasis to preserve cardiovascular health. The article is well written and different from the existing ones. The figure provided is clear.
However I believed that and additional figure explaining the cellular effects of GCs on cardiomyocytes will help the readers in a better understanding of the article

Response – We thank the reviewer for the positive comments. In our revised version, we have now added an additional figure (figure-2) explaining the cellular actions of GC, which can help the reader in understanding how GC brings about these effects on cardiovascular system.
