T LYMPHOCYTES…there are several kinds There are several different kinds of T lymphocytes. And, these T Cells secrete hormone-like substances known as CYTOKINES that significantly affect the responses of other immune WBC cells in the surrounding area. These helpful cells became known as T helper cells [Th]. T cell lymphocytes are subdivided into groups with different functions. PICTURE: Lymphocytes…very general sub-types It is understood that Low Dose Naltrexone [LDN] is taken to modulate T helper cell ratios…TH1/TH2 Th1 cells…encourage inflammation T helper cells found to secrete cytokines that direct immune cells to attack target cells that might be infected or recognized as abnormal are known as Th1 cells. Th2 cells…reduce inflammation Other T helper cells found to secrete a variety of cytokines that tend to oppose the cytokines secreted by Th1 cells became known as Th2 cells. T regulator Cells [T-reg] There are also the T regulator cells which are more like the conductors of the orchestra. The T regulatory cells are the CD4/CD25 cells. [Th 17]
