Thymosin is responsible for

• A. Raising blood sugar level
• B. Raising blood calcium level
• C. Decrease in blood RBCs
• D. Increased production of T-lymphocytes

Answer 1

The correct option is D Increased production of T-lymphocytes

The thymus plays a major role in the development of the immune system. This gland secretes the peptide hormones called thymosins. Thymosins play a major role in the differentiation of T-lymphocytes, which provide cell-mediated immunity. In addition, thymosins also promote the production of antibodies to provide humoral immunity.
