Cellular Composition of the B- and T-Cell-Dependent Areas in the Small Intestine during the Post-Stress Period (Experimental Study)

Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine Aims and scope

A quantitative study of lymphoid cells in the B- and T-cell-dependent areas of intestinal lymphoid nodules and mesenteric lymph nodes in behaviorally passive and active rats was performed at various periods after acute stress on the model of 1-h immobilization with simultaneous electrocutaneous stimulation. Stress exposure is accompanied by a decrease in the number of lymphoid cells in immunogenic structures of the gastrointestinal tract. Post-stress changes in the cytoarchitectonics of B- and T-cell-dependent areas in mesenteric lymph nodes of animals are less pronounced than in lymphoid nodules. Quantitative changes in lymphoid cells of B-cell-dependent areas in the small intestine of rats are greater than in T-cell-dependent areas. Changes in the cellular composition of immunogenic structures in the digestive system are most significant at the early stages of the post-stress period (1st week). Passive rats are characterized by significant changes in the cytoarchitectonics of B- and Tcell-dependent areas in the small intestine after extreme exposure, which illustrates functional exhaustion of the lymphoid tissue in stress-predisposed specimens.
