Intestinal lymphoid tissue changes in the cortisone-treated Wistar rat.
This paper continues the previous investigation of the Department on the lymphoid tissue of central and peripheral lymphoid organs under different experimental conditions. The morphological reactional modalities of the intestinal lymphoid tissue in the male Wistar rat were followed up under endocrine imbalance conditions following cortisone administration. Seven days after administration cortisone induced a hyperplasia of the intestinal lymphoid tissue in parallel with a depletion of the lymph node parenchyma and a hypercellularity of bone marrow. After a 6-week postcortisone interval, the lymphoid tissue showed changes corresponding to a cellular depletion in parallel with the restoration of the lymph node parenchyma and a normocellular bone marrow.
