Note: Data are presented as means ± SEM. Percentages are calculated as proportions of total number of leukocytes, except helper (Th) and cytotoxic (Tc) T cells, which are calculated as proportions of the number of T cells. Differences between CONT and ANG rats are compared by Student t-tests; df: degrees of freedom.
