Mice submitted to surgical stress induced by laparotomy and treated with chronic alprazolam (1 mg/kg) showed a reduction in stress-induced suppression of thymus and spleen cellularity, as well as in peripheral T lymphocyte population. The blastic response of spleen lymphoid cells was also assessed and found to partially supress the inhibitory effect of surgery.
