ERCs inhibited the frequency of CD4⁺ and CD8⁺ T cell populations in the spleen. a Flow cytometric analysis of CD3⁺CD4⁺ and CD3⁺CD8⁺ T cell populations was performed in the spleen of the normal control, untreated and ERC-treated groups. b ERC treatment dramaticlly reduced the percentages of CD3⁺CD4⁺ and CD3⁺CD8⁺ T cells in the spleen. Bar graphs represent mean ± SEM of three separate experiments. p values were determined by one-way ANOVA. Data show are representative of three separate experiments performed. (^## p < 0.01 versus the normal control group. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 versus the untreated group, n = 6)
