THE INFLUENCE OF THE SUPRARENAL GLAND ON THE THYMUS : III. STIMULATION OF THE GROWTH OF THE THYMUS GLAND FOLLOWING DOUBLE SUPRARENALECTOMY IN YOUNG RATS

H L Jaffe. J Exp Med. .

Abstract

1. Double suprarenalectomy in growing rats is an additional stimulus for thymic growth and brings about marked prepubertal hyperplasia of this gland. 2. Our results on young rats suggest that the suprarenal cortex may be a factor in the excessive thymic hyperplasias seen in infants and children.
