Effect of polyoxyethylene and polyoxypropylene nonionic block copolymers on performance and recruitment of immune cell subsets in weaned pigs

Table 6 Difference in proportion of CD45⁺limphoid cells in the peripheral blood of weaned pigs treated at Day 0 with POE-POP after 5 weeks of the experiment

Treatment^a	% of CD45⁺cells in the peripheral blood (Mean values)^b/day of the experiment
	0	7	14	21	28	35
Saline	55.31	56.28	58.30	60.51	61.27	61.46
POE-POP	49.90	52.23	59.76	66.09	72.41	76.37
Difference (POE-POP vs. Saline)	- 5.41*	- 4.05**	1.46	5.58*	11.14*	14.91*

^aSingle p.o. application of 10 ml of either saline or POE-POP at Day 0; groups comprised 7 pigs each. ^bValues differ significantly at *p < 0.01 or **p < 0.05; unmarked differences were not significant.
