Normalized percentage change in blood DC, monocyte, and lymphocyte numbers in surgery and exercise.
Normalized percentage change of blood DC (A), monocyte (B), and lymphocyte (C) counts in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (n = 26, ●) and healthy controls at corresponding time points (n = 9, ○). Normalized percentage change of blood DC (D), monocyte (E), and lymphocyte (F) counts in healthy volunteers who underwent the exercise program (n = 5). The PreOp (A-C) or PreEx (D-F) cell counts were used as the baseline for comparison with all other time points for each study group. Each point represents the mean + SEM. The monocyte and lymphocyte counts were obtained from the automated hematology cell counter.
