Chronic Hepatitis of the Mother and the Development of the Thymus of the Offspring in the Dynamics of Early Postnatal Ontogenesis

Abstract

the effect of chronic toxic hepatitis in female rats on the growth and development of the thymus of the offspring during early postnatal ontogenesis was studied. It has been established that chronic maternal hepatitis leads to growth and developmental delays in 1 -3 days after birth, expressed in decreased body weight, retarded growth and decreased weight of the thymus, liver and spleen; in the dynamics of early postnatal ontogenesis it also contributes to morphological manifestation of retarded development of structural and functional thymus zones; hypoplasia phenomena are noted in the organ.
