In Vivo EP influence on Treg numbers in the peritoneum and the gut immune system. EP was applied either by intraperitoneal injections or through the oral route to healthy C57BL/6 mice and (A) the proportion and (B) the number of Treg (CD4⁺CD25^highFoxP3⁺) was determined ex vivo from the cell suspensions of peritoneal cells (PC), Peyer’s patches (PP), or lamina propria cells (LP). Representative dot plots and gating strategy are shown below the graph. * p < 0.05 represents the significant difference between EP-treated mice compared to vehicle-treated mice.
