[Influence of genital hormones on guinea pig thymus gland cytology].
The changes of the thymic cytologia under the action of genital hormones were studied in giunea pigs. The conclusion of the experiments was: the oestrogens are the only hormones to induce a fast and complete involution of the thymic tissue with appearance of Foa-Kurloff cells'. The cell seems to have all the necessary characters to be the morphologic substratum of an eventual cytocrine secretion of the thymus.
