Características morfométricas do desenvolvimento do timo em cães

Abstract: The thymus is an organ with great immunological relevance during foetus life and neonatal period, It is the predecessor of lymphopoiesis and shows high lymphopoietic activity, being also the largest lymphoid organ during intrauterine life and at birth. In this study, the morphological aspects of the prenatal development of dog thymus were described in foetus of different ages and sexes. Twenty-four foetus of mongrel domestic dogs, males and females, were divided into four age groups. The thymus presented two l… Show more

“…This result suggests that there was remodeling of connective tissue due to the disease. In young animals (up to 55 days), the thymic corpuscle capsule consists of connective tissue [13]. So, it was possible to suggest also that the thymic corpuscles present in cats of the Fp group are closely related to the increased connective tissue in the group.…”

“…Thymic corpuscles were found only after 50 days of gestation in cats [13] and between the 30th day of gestation and one year of age in dogs [14]. The time-dependency of these structures is documented in the literature, their function, however, has not yet been clarified.…”

“…no entanto, apenas Drummond (1996) comentou sobre seus aspectos métricos, o que causa estranheza, pois estudos desta natureza no timo são comumente realizados para outras espécies de animais (AGRESTE et al, 2007;SAnTAnA et al, 2008), o que permite uma precisa comparação entre diferentes faixas etárias, gerando informações que podem auxiliar no melhor entendimento do processo de desenvolvimento e involução do timo. neste trabalho, assim como nos relatos de Machado et al (1999), Silva et al (2001; GOnçALEz, 1998;GOnçALEz et al, 2001), o lobo torácico direito pode ser encontrado com as mesmas dimensões do esquerdo ou estar ausente, sendo esta última característica muito semelhante ao observado para os fetos de suínos dissecados.…”

“…Diante dos recentes avanços da ciência na área da imunologia e da indubitável importância que esta área vem adquirindo, faz-se cada vez mais necessário o empreendimento de estudos que visem conhecer aspectos diversos concernentes ao sistema imunitário, buscando a elucidação da etiologia e patogenia de doenças e seus tratamentos (Agreste et al, 2007). De acordo com Reece (2004), o timo mostrou ter grande relevância para os mamíferos nos quais atua através de ações notórias na resposta imune e ainda sobre o sistema linfático, sendo primordial para o desenvolvimento pós-natal, respondendo ainda pela competência imunológica do indivíduo.…”
