  1. Data are means ± SD of 4 animals per group and expressed as the percentage of total cells (CD4+ CD8+, CD4 CD8, CD4+ CD8 and CD4 CD8+) or percentage of CD4 CD8 parental cells (CD25 CD44+, CD25+ CD44+, CD25+ CD44 and CD25 CD44). Total cell numbers were 49.2 ± 15.4 and 47.4 ± 6.9 millions per thymus in SIRT3+/+ and SIRT3−/− mice, respectively. No statistically significant differences in subsets’ percentages and absolute numbers were detected.
