Key Findings
- Thymalin injections normalized peripheral blood immune indexes
- Thymalin lavage restored the epithelial barrier structure in tonsils
- Tonsil size decreased after conservative treatment with thymalin
Practical Outcomes
- Thymalin appears to have immune‑modulating effects that can reduce tonsil swelling in children, but the data are limited to a pediatric setting. For biohackers, it suggests potential for immune support, yet more adult‑focused research is needed before adding it to longevity or performance protocols.
Summary
A study on 59 kids with big tonsils showed that using the peptide thymalin, either by injection or a special rinse, helped shrink the tonsils and improved immune markers in the blood and the tissue lining. The changes suggest the immune system was more active and the tissue barrier got back to normal.
Abstract
Morphological and immunological data on the efficiency of the conservative treatment of hypertrophic tonsils in 59 children are presented. Biopsies of tonsils were examined before and after treatment. Tonsils reduced in size as a result of treatment, their changes indicated activation of the morphological manifestations of cellular and humoral immunity. Intramuscular treatment with thymalin resulted in normalization of the peripheral blood immunological indexes. The lacuna lavage with thymalin led to the normalization of the disturbed epithelial barrier structure.
