[Effect of thymalin on the function of the blood kallikrein-kinin system in thymectomized rats]
Plain-language summary
Paraphrased from the published abstract below — not a verdict on whether anything works.
In this rat study, the authors examined effects of thymus ablation and thymalin injection on the blood plasma kallikrein-kinin system in thymectomized rats. The abstract reports that thymus ablation was followed by activation of kinin formation, evidenced by elevated total kallikrein activity and a drop in kininogen level, and that injection of thymalin into thymectomized animals returned these characteristics to normal levels.
Abstract
The effects of thymus ablation and injection of thymalin on the blood plasma kallikrein-kinin system were studied. Thymus ablation was followed by activation of kinin formation, evidenced by an elevation of the total kallikrein activity and drop of the kininogen level. Injection of thymalin into thymectomized animals makes the characteristics under study return to normal.
