Main spleen cell subsets after adipokine supplementation. Effect of dietary supplementation with adipokines on the main splenocyte subsets from the four groups − Reference, Leptin, Adiponectin and Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC) − over the suckling period (day 14 and 21). B cells defined as CD45RA⁺ CD4⁻ CD8⁻ cells (A), T cells defined as the sum of TCRαβ⁺ NKR-P1A⁻ and TCRγδ⁺ cells (B), ratio T/B cells (C), TCRαβ⁺ NKR-P1A⁻ cells (D), TCRαβ⁺ CD4⁺ CD8⁻ cells (E), TCRαβ⁺ CD8⁺ CD4⁻ cells (F), TCRγδ⁺ cells (G) and TCRγδ⁺ CD8⁺ CD4⁻ cells (H). The results are expressed as a mean ± S.E.M. (n = 8−12). Statistical differences: *P < 0.05 vs. Reference group. ^ΔP < 0.05 vs. Leptin group. ^ΨP < 0.05 vs. same group data at day 14.
