[Structural-functional state of the thyroid gland after thymectomy].
The dynamics of morphologic and biochemical indices of the thyroid gland in puberal rats has been considered. The data obtained suggest that the thymus hormones deficiency in blood circulation after thymectomy affect thyroid-stimulating functions of adenopituitary and thyroliberin production in hypothalamus that results in significant depression of thyroid function, whereas the enhancement of thyroid function to 20-month follow-up has no central genesis but is rather a result of autoimmune processes activation when thymus is removed.
