Virgin coconut oil (VCO) is used as a traditional medicine in Asian countries because of its therapeutic effects mediated through hypolipidemic, antimicrobial and anti‐oxidant properties. The interactions between the sympathetic noradrenergic nervous system and the immune cells of the lymphoid organs (thymus and lymph nodes) modulate immunity to determine health or onset of inflammatory diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of VCO in modulating neuronal and anti‐inflammatory factors in the thymus and mesenteric lymph nodes (MLN).
