Potentiation of experimental allergic thyroiditis in rats adipectomized at birth
Clinical and Experimental Immunology
|July 1, 1977
Abstract:
The effect of neonatal extirpation of the interscapular brown adipose tissue (adipectomy) on the development of experimental allergic thyroiditis in 8-week-old inbred Lewis rats was studied. The incidence and intensity of disease were much higher, and delayed skin reactions significantly stronger, in adipectomized rats than in control sham-adipectomized rats.
