Prenatal vitamin D deficiency reduces CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the peripheral blood and spleen in male offspring at the adult stage. T cell proportions in the peripheral blood (a) and spleen (b) were significantly decreased in VDD offspring. Each dot on the plot represents a sample (blood, n = 11 per group; spleen, n = 6 per group). The box shows the range between the first and third quartiles. The upper and lower whiskers represent 1.5 times the interquartile range, while the black bars indicate the median. The values shown in the plot are p-values calculated using Student’s t-test.
