* p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01. WBC: white blood cells (leukocytes), Lym: lymphocytes, Mon: monocytes, Gran: granulocytes, RBC: red blood cells, Hb; hemoglobin; Hct: hematocrit; PLT: platelets. Percent changes from MT to TC were calculated for each participant and the average is listed as mean % change (except for those outcomes already expressed as percentages).
