Which of the following gland is often referred in relation with AIDS

  • Thyroid

  • Thymus

  • Adrenal

  • Pancreas

Solution

B.

Thymus

The thymus gland, which plays a key role in the maturation and functioning of the lymphoid system, is implicated in the acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). The observation that the thymic hormone, thymosin α1, is elevated in individuals at risk for AIDS (as opposed to being depressed in other immunodeficient states) has provided the first direct evidence that the thymus is malfunctioning early in the course of this deadly disease.
