Effects of β-glucans from shiitake mushroom on improving total WBC and differential count in peripheral blood of mice challenged with LPS (n=5 each)

	Control	LPS+PBS	^LPS LNT	^LPS BG	Control	LPS+PBS	^LPS LNT	^LPS BG
Total WBC	2200^a	2683^a	1806^a	2220^a	2200^a	2683^a	2000^a	1640^a
Neutrophil	130^a	188^a	120^a	158^a	130^b	188^a	88.33^b	58.00^b

Values shown are the means of five mice±standard deviation of the mean. In each row, the statistical lower-case letters including “a, b” indicate significant differences between the means at the statistical level of 5% or less (P≤0.05). Values followed by the same lower-case letters are not significantly different
