Table I.
Percentage of cytokine-positive cells among CD4(+) peripheral blood lymphocytes cultured in high or no glucose medium following stimulation with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and ionomycin.
| Percentage of positive cells | ||
|---|---|---|
| Glucose | Interleukin-4 | Interferon-γ |
| High | 0.12±0.10 | 15.37±3.14 |
| No | 0.30±0.05a | 6.39±0.56a |
Intracellular cytokine expression was analyzed by flow cytometry. The data represent the mean ± standard deviation of cells positive for each cytokine among the CD4(+) T cell population (
a
P<0.05). CD, cluster of differentiation.
