Abstract

The administration of lithium chloride (LiCl) to mice by intraperitoneal injection caused involution in the thymus, both in the cortex and medulla. Lithium also considerably decreased vitamin C (ascorbic acid) content in all of the organs that were studied: thymus, lymph nodes, spleen, suprarenal glands, and liver.
