title: [Circannual rhythms of bone marrow cell composition in animals during aging: the role of pineal factors].
abstract: It was investigated the influence of pineal gland's peptides (epithalamin, epithalon) and indols (melatonin) on the aging changes of circannual rhythms of stromal cells-precurcors (CFC-F), granulocyte-macrophage cells-precurcors (CFC-GM), CD4+, Mac-1+ and CD19+-cells amount in bone marrow of mice CBA. In old animals the rhythmical disturbances of the indices were characterized by loss of fluctuations (Mac 1+-cells), increase of CD4+-cells amplitude, displacement of seasonal acrophase (CFC-F), inversion of rhythm (CFC-GM), desynchronization. In old mice after epithalamin injections the season differences between the amount of Mac-1+-cells restored, CD4+-cells amplitude diminished, the amount of CFC-GM increased in spring and CFC-F diminished in autumn. The influence of epithalon on CFC-F and CFG-GM rhythm was in a smaller dose. The rhythms of some indices in old animals showed a pattern observed in adults. After melatonin injections to adult mice in winter the amount of CD4+-cells increased; the ratio CFC-GM and CFC-F changed because of increase of stromal fibroblasts. In old mice the indices were without changes.
