[Homeostatic effect of thymalin in multiple sclerosis]
Plain-language summary
Paraphrased from the published abstract below — not a verdict on whether anything works.
This study in human multiple sclerosis patients examined interactions between the immune, endocrine, and nervous systems, using dexamethasone and vasopressin tests and assessing lymphocyte sensitivity to hydrocortisone and thymalin, along with the main protein of myelin. The authors suggested that arginine-vasopressine combined with thymalin might be used for correction of homeostatic abnormalities and secondary disease prophylaxis, based on their findings.
Abstract
The paper is concerned with interaction of the immune, endocrine and nervous systems in patients with multiple sclerosis. Dexamethasone and vasopressine tests were made. Lymphocyte sensitivity to hydrocortisone and thymalin, the main protein of myelin, was detected. It is advisable that arginine-vasopressine combined with thymalin be used for correction of homeostatic abnormalities and secondary disease prophylaxis.
