Thymus Gland Hormones

The thymus gland is located over the heart. It controls immunity, allergy, blood cell production, tissue repair, bone growth, and protein synthesis.

• The hormones thymosin and thymic humoral factor stimulate the major immune responses. Thymosin also inhibits mental, emotional, and physical functions in favor of rest when ill.
• In contrast thymopoietin reduces immune responses but stimulates allergic responses. It also re-stimulates mental, emotional and physical functions.
• Thymulin (bound to zinc) controls tissue repair and bone and tissue growth.
• The thymus also makes all other hormones and neuropeptides in the body to some extent.
