Not Only Glycaemic But Also Other Metabolic Factors Affect T Regulatory Cell Counts and Proinflammatory Cytokine Levels in Women with Type 1 Diabetes

Figure 8

(a–c) The relationship between T regulatory cells and calculated “remnant cholesterol”. Higher calculated remnant cholesterol was correlated to lower Treg numbers. This correlation was significant in the case of CD127^low Treg cells (, ). The similar trend was observed for FoxP3⁺ as well as for CD127^lowFoxP3⁺ Treg cells that failed to reach statistical significance (, and , , resp.). (a) CD127^low Treg cells (% from CD4⁺cells). (b) FoxP3⁺ Treg cells (% from CD4⁺cells). (c) CD127^lowFoxP3⁺ Treg cells (% from CD4⁺cells).
