Effect of thymosin fractions on the development of toxic swelling edema of the brain

Abstract

Rat experiments have shown that thymosin fractions V and VI elicit an antiedemic effect by normalizing predominantly the density of brain tissues, the effect being independent of the preparation dose. It is demonstrated that a high dose of fraction VII has a pronounced antiedemic effect.
