Represents the percentage of CD3+ T cells that expressed CD4 or CD8. All other values represent the percentage of the CD4+ or CD8+ population expressing indicated surface markers.
Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test – a bold p-value indicates the median of differences between paired blood and adipose tissue is not equal to zero with a significance level of 0.05.
