... phenomenon (low-grade inflammation), characterized by increased plasma levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6) and C-reactive protein. Changes in peripheral lymphocyte subsets are also documented, such as a reduction in regulatory T cells and an expansion of activated T cells. The excess...

... Questionnaire was used to determine activities of daily living. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) serologies were determined by ELISAs. Peripheral blood was assessed for lymphocyte subsets by flow cytometry (CD4+, CD8+, NK, NKT, B and CD8+CD28-). Results: Fifty-nine individuals were identified...

Isolated cells were then designated to differential leukocyte count (blood) and flow cytometry analysis of immune cell subsets (immune sites). Results: The data revealed that PSD caused a significant reduction of circulating lymphocytes...
