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

Table 7 Difference in proportion of CD4⁺T cells in the peripheral blood of weaned pigs treated at Day 0 with POE-POP after 5 weeks of the experiment

Treatment^a	% of CD4⁺cells in the peripheral blood (Mean values)^b/day of the experiment
	0	7	14	21	28	35
Saline	19.34	19.70	20.46	21.18	21,53	21.60
POE-POP	17.45	18.65	21.34	23.13	25.34	25.29
Difference (POE-POP vs. Saline)	- 1.89*	- 1.05	0.88	1.95*	3.81**	3.69**

^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 < 0.05 or **p < 0.01; unmarked differences were not significant.
