title: Reaction of thymic monoamine-containing structures to experimental testectomy.
abstract: Testectomy increased serotonin content in fluorescent granular macrophages of the subcapsular and premedullary zones and in mast cell granules. Serotonin concentrations in the medullary and cortical thymocytes decrease. Young sudanophilic mast cells with low content of proteoglycans and low-sulfated immature heparin predominate in the gland after testectomy.
