FoxP3+ T-regulatory cells. a Representative dot-plots showing numbers of FoxP3+ T-regulatory cells in healthy volunteers and patients with AH, DM2, IGT. Percentage indicates number of cells among all CD4 + −lymphocytes. b Numbers of FoxP3+ T-regulatory lymphocytes in healthy volunteers (n = 12) and patients with AH (n = 7), DM2 (n = 20), IGT (n = 7). Data represent the mean and SEM; p-values represented above the bars are calculated by Mann–Whitney U test. All other comparisons were statistically insignificant (p > 0.05). c Relationship between visceral adiposity index (x-axis) and numbers of FoxP3+ T-regulatory lymphocytes (y-axis) in patients with DM2. The p-value indicated in (c) was calculated using Spearman correlation; Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient (r) is indicated above p
