The administration of LHRH (luteinising hormone-releasing hormone) results in macroscopic and microscopic regeneration of atrophied thymi in old rats. The distribution and density of ACHE-positive nerves in the regenerated thymi resembled the innervation in the pre-involution developmental stages. The ACHE-positive nerves were abundant also in the functioning parenchyma of the regenerated thymi. The administration of a parasympathomimetic drug synthostigmin failed to regenerate the atrophied thymi and no ACHE-positive nerve structures were present in the preserved parts of the thymus parenchyma
