  • Title: [Mesenteric lymph nodes in the rat after exposure to hydrocortisone].
    Author: Grigorenko DE, Budushkina EE.
    Journal: Arkh Anat Gistol Embriol; 1985 Jul; 89(7):58-62. PubMed ID: 4051781.
    Abstract:
    The construction and cell composition of the cortex and medulla have been morphometrically studied after 1-, 3-, 5-, 7- and 14-aliquot injection of medical doses of hydrocortisone (0.25 mg per 100 g of body mass). The body mass of the animals decreases, as does the size of the mesenteric lymph nodes. The lymphocyto- and immunocytopoietic functions intensify in the medullary cords with a simultaneous inhibition of these processes in the cortical plateau and in the lymphoid noduli. On the 5th and 7th days there is some increase in the section area of the cortex, while that of the medulla decreases. The part of small lymphocytes in these structures grows large. Therefore, it is possible to suppose a definite tendency towards restoration of the structural components within two weeks.
