    Abstract:
    Oxidative phosphorylation in the mice liver mitochondria with chemical carcinogenesis was studied as affected by thymosine. It is found that under chemical carcinogenesis the energy metabolism (fraction III) lowered and administration of thymosine in the early periods of carcinogenesis favoured an increase in the indices up to the control level. In the late period of carcinogenesis the mentioned effect was not observed. The favourable effect of thymosine on the oxidative phosphorylation was associated with an increase in the immunological indices in the animals under experiment. It is supposed that the activity of thymosine as a hormonal factor includes participation in the energy metabolism regulation.
