Thymus: Baseline T-Cell levels
Too many unnecessary T-Cells
Thymus stops producing thymosin
Slows down rate of maturation of developing lymphocytes into T-Cells
Less active, mature T-Cells in blood
Not enough T-Cells for appropriate immune response
Thymus produces more thymosin -α1
Stimulates rate of development of lymphocytes into helper and cytotoxic T-Cells
More T-Cells in blood
Immune response stimulation as a result of infection in the body
Immune response subsides
Antagonist: Dexamethasone (Glucocorticoid)
Inhibits development of T-Cells by inducing apoptosis
Negative Feedback
