Relative changes in the peripheral lymphocyte subsets as identified in each participant before and after (Pre and Post) the intervention; (A) killer T cells (CD3+CD8+); (B) helper T cells (CD4+); (C) regulatory T cell (CD4+CD25+); (D) natural killer T cells (CD3−CD56+); (E) memory T cells (CD3+CD45RA−CD45RO+); and (F) the naïve/memory T cell ratio. After one week of coix seed consumption, the relative peripheral CD3+CD8+ (killer T cell), CD4+ (helper T cell), and CD4+CD25+ (Treg cell) percentages, as well as the naïve/memory T cell ratio increased, and the relative peripheral CD3−CD56+ (NK cell) and CD3+CD45RA−CD45RO+ (memory T cell) percentages decreased in coix seed (CS) group. In contrast, significant change was only seen in the relative percentage of killer T cells (CD3+CD8+) in control (CN) group.
