Cell blood count and white blood cell differential of whole blood obtained by cardiac puncture in septic (CLP day 2 or CLP day 7) and control animals (sham); the different subsets of leukocytes are expressed as percentage of the leukocyte population. One-way ANOVA with post hoc Dunnett test or Kruskal–Wallis test with post hoc Dunn’s test as appropriate. /group. , , and .
