NEUROPEPTIDE CGRP: AGING ASPECTS OF EXPRESSION AT PINEAL GLAND AND THYMUS OF HUMAN
There were veriﬁed expression of neuropeptide CGRP (calcitonin gene related peptide) at pineal gland and thymus by immunogistochemical method. At eldery age expression of CGRP was higher at thymus in comparison with pineal gland. However, old and long-liver people expression of CGRP discreased at thymus and had not changed at pineal gland. The discreasing of synthesis of neuropeptide CGRP at thymus may be one of the cause of it dicfunction at aging.
