Detailed explanation-1: -Thymopoietin and thymulin: These hormones are involved in the process where T cells get turned into different types of disease fighters. Thymosin: This hormone boosts the immune system’s response. Thymosin also stimulates hormones that control growth.
Detailed explanation-2: -Thymulin is a nonapeptide hormone whose active structure requires Zn (Bach and Dardenne; 1989). Thymulin induces differentiation and function of T cells. The threshold at which limited Zn status impairs immunity in humans is unknown.
Detailed explanation-3: -When T cells mature within the thymus, they are not capable of fighting viruses, bacteria, and foreign antigens. After the T cells leave the thymus, thymosin ensures they undergo complete maturation. This makes them capable of performing their duties as part of the immune system and protecting the body from harm.
