Abstract

The effects of somatotropic hormone on bioamine-containing structures of immunocompetent organs in rats were studied after 1, 3, 7, and 14 days of treatment by fluorescent histochemical methods and microspectrofluorometry. The effect of somatotropic hormone on immune processes can be mediated by changes in the neurotransmitter content in the thymus and lymph nodes.
