More
information on the Thymus Gland
The thymus gland is part of the
Immune System that produces Hormones to support the development of the
immune cells.
The thymus shrinks as people age. At birth thymic tissue represents O.4%
of body weight. At the age of 70, the thymus accounts for only 0.0007%.
This atrophy correlates with a gradual weakening of the immune system.
Orally administered extracts of beef thymus and bovine colostrum have
been used to support the function of the thymus gland. Antioxidants like
Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Beta Carotene and Selenium are nutrients that
enhance T-cell function and may retard thymic shrinkage because the
gland is susceptible to oxidative damage. The amino acids Ornithine and
Arginine can also stimulate the thymus gland. Zinc, Vitamin B6 and
Vitamin C seem crucial to support thymic hormone production and
cell-dependent immune function. Echinacea and licorice enhance immune
function performed by the thymus gland. Thymic factors are being studied
as therapeutic agents for Aids patients and cancer patients.
The thymic hormones include thymosin, thymic humoral factor, thymic
factor and thymopoietin. Together they promote the proliferation and
maturation of various types of T cells, lymphocytes (white blod cells)
that help defend the body against foreign invaders. Helper T cells
(which activate other lymphocytes), cytotoxic T cells (which attack
cells) and suppressor T cells (which limit lymphocyte activity)
represent the major class of T cells.
