概要

• 論文の詳細を見る

• A single dose (0.025-0.1mg/g body wt) of estradiol valerianate (E_2) was administered to the female lizard , Chalcides ocellatus, a viviparous skink. Lymphoic cell populations were depleted in the thymus, peripheral blood, and spleen at about 14 days, but in the bone marrow counts were nearly normal. Histologically, the thymic cortex was destroyed, but the medulla was less affected. In periarteriolar lymphocyte sheath, areas where T lymphocytes predominate in the spleen, the hormone caused significant depletion. Lymphocyte redistribution may occur between various compartments of the body as the main effect of hormone induced lymphocyte changes, although the mechanism in lizards and mammals is not understood.
