  • Title: [Characteristics of the pineal gland and thymus relationship in aging].
    Author: Lin'kova NS, Poliakova VO, Kvetnoĭ IM, Trofimov AV, Sevost'ianova NN.
    Journal: Adv Gerontol; 2011; 24(1):38-42. PubMed ID: 21809618.
    Abstract:
    The review presents the interference between thymus and pineal gland during their involution. The research data of thymus peptides influence on pineal gland and pineal peptides on thymus are summarized. Analysis of these data showed that pineal peptides (Epithalamin, Epitalon) had more effective geroprotective effect on thymus involution in comparison with geroprotective effect of thymic peptides (Thymalin, Thymogen) on involution of pineal gland. The key mechanisms of pineal peptides effect on thymus dystrophy is immunoendocrine cooperation, which is realized as transcription's activation of various proteins.
