Values indicate the CD4/CD8 ratio observed in healthy dogs, in sick dogs at T0, T3, T6 and T12 in SD Group (pharmacological treatment alone) and IMMD Group (pharmacological treatment and immune-modulating diet), as indicated. The column of Healthy Dogs refers to the means ± SD values of normal range (see material and methods) of CD4/CD8 ratio in healthy controls.
