Influence of surgical and chemical orchidectomy on weight and distribution of AChE-nerve fibres in thymuses of adult rats

European Journal of Histochemistry, 2011
The thymus is a crossroad between the immune and neuroendocrine systems. As such, it is innervated by acetylcholinesterase (AChE)-positive fibres of the vagus, the recurrent laryngeal and the phrenic nerves. It is well know, that the innervations density

Orchidectomy Affects the Innervation of the Rat Thymus

International Journal of Neuroscience, 1999
To assess a putative role of the neural pathways in transfer of information from the gonads to the thymus, adult AO rats were orchidectomized (ORX) or sham ORX (controls); sacrificed 1, 3, 7, or 15 days later and their thymi were analyzed for: (a) the concentrations of noradrenaline (NA), dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT) and distribution of monoamine-
