Naïve T cells are a type of white blood cell that has not encountered a specific antigen before and are ready to respond to new infections. As people age, the number of naïve T cells decreases due to the shrinking of the thymus gland, which produces and matures T cells. This reduces the ability of the immune system to recognize and fight new pathogens and lowers the effectiveness of vaccines.

Explanation
Diabetes insipidus is a disorder of water balance caused by a deficiency of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) or a resistance to its action. ADH regulates the reabsorption of water in the kidneys and prevents excessive urine output. Without enough ADH or with reduced sensitivity to it, the kidneys produce large amounts of diluted urine, leading to frequent urination and thirst. Chronic fatigue and mild confusion may result from dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. Serum glucose is not affected by diabetes insipidus, unlike diabetes mellitus, which is a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism.
