Abstract
We studied the effects of amitriptyline (preparation stimulating melatonin synthesis in the pineal gland) on daily variations of cell composition in immune organs of Wistar rats with experimental desynchronosis. Amitriptyline administered in the evening restored the daily dynamics of the number of thymus cells.
