Summary
In protein-depleted rats, atrophy of the thymus is partially responsible for the quantitative reduction of medium and large blood lymphocytes which precedes the decrease in the number of small lymphocytes.
On the other hand, during recovery from protein starvation the restoration of medium and large lymphocytes is much more pronounced in intact than in thymectomized rats.
