Changes in other major leukocyte populations. Less pronounced but significant changes were also seen for other leukocyte populations. In RA, changes in NK cells were weaker but comparable to those of non-classical monocytes. Lymphocytes as a whole and the subpopulations of T-cells and B-cells showed similar changes in RA and MetS patients. Only neutrophils and eosinophils showed slight differences. Neutrophils increased transiently (T1) only in RA and eosinophils changed, although similar, with significance only in RA. Statistical significances of comparisons were indicated as described in Figure 3.
