Figure Lengend Snippet: HSD intake increases B cell population in the SILPs of SS rats. ( A , C ) UMAP plots display clusters of CD45+ cells in the SILPs. ( A ) Annotations indicate cell types based on gene expression. ( B ) Dot plot shows representative gene expression for each cell type. ( C ) Red dots represent the NSD group, and blue dots represent the HSD group. ( D ) Bar plot shows the proportion of immune cells in the SILPs ( n = 4/group). # p = 0.05 by t-test. ( E ) Bar plots represent the distribution of B cells (CD45+ CD79a+) in the SILPs ( n = 4/group) using flow cytometry. * p < 0.05 in a t-test.
