Colostrum and blood mononuclear cells were preincubated or not with cytokines. *Indicates differences between phagocytes incubated with cytokines and the control (PBS) within each group and sample, #indicates differences between samples (colostrum, maternal blood, and cord blood) within each treatment (cytokines or PBS) and group; and +indicates differences between normo- and diabetic groups within each treatment (cytokines or PBS) and sample (colostrum, maternal blood, or cord blood). |
