Abstract

The effect of triamcinolone acetonide (2 mg/kg) on the distribution of morphologically mature leukocytes in the blood system, the mononuclear liver infiltration, and the immune response was studied in rats under conditions of stress-induced hypoxia. Administered under these conditions, the drug produces a less pronounced effect on the content of circulating lymphocytes, the lymphoid cell number in the bone marrow, and the number of hepatocytes and monocytes/macrophages in the liver. However, the post-stressor immunodepressant effect of triamcinolone acetonide was increased and accompanied by the development of hepatic damage.
