Thymulin activity was significantly reduced in the anorexia nervosa patients compared to sex- and age-matched healthy control subjects. The distribution of their peripheral lymphocyte cells into several subsets was not affected.

The observed decrease of thymulin activity in this illness might be the consequence of thymic atrophy secondary to malnutrition and/or hormonal disturbances.
