Growth hormone (GH) has been shown to have an effect on both immune function and aging. In fact, the absence of GH-induced intracellular signaling can slow the aging process, as demonstrated by the longest-lived laboratory mouse (GH receptor gene disrupted or GHR-\/- mice). Because GH receptors (GHR) are expressed in B and T cells, and these cells undergo age-related changes that impact immune function, we hypothesized that decreased GH action protects from immunosenescence.\u00a0To validate this hypothesis, this study aimed to characterize differences in B cell and T cell populations within the lymphoid organs of aged female GHR-\/- mice (24 months of age) compared to wild-type controls.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>B and T cell populations in mouse blood, spleen, thymus, and bone marrow (BM) were analyzed by multicolor flow cytometry.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The current study showed significantly higher levels of anti-inflammatory follicular (FO) B cells in spleens and BM and lower levels of pro-inflammatory aging-associated B cells (ABC) in the spleens, BM, and blood of aged GHR-\/- mice compared to WT mice. In addition, T cell populations in aged GHR-\/- mice showed higher levels of na\u00efve T cells and lower levels of memory T cells in the thymus, BM, spleen, and blood.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Female GHR-\/- mice are protected from age-related shifts in lymphocyte populations, suggesting that the absence of GH action mitigates immunosenescence.
