Rats with electrolytic anterior hypothalamic lesions show changes in lymphoid tissue cellularity and a decrease in the response to concanavalin A (Con A). This effect manifests itself maximally 4 days after lesioning, with a return to normal by day 14. The changes are not mediated through the release of corticosteroids. These data indicate the presence of a neuroendocrine pathway that is capable of modulating immune function.
患有下丘脑前部电解损伤的大鼠,其淋巴组织细胞数量出现变化,对伴刀豆球蛋白A(Con A)的反应降低。这种效应在损伤后4天表现得最为明显,到第14天恢复正常。这些变化并非通过皮质类固醇的释放介导。这些数据表明存在一条能够调节免疫功能的神经内分泌途径。
