title: [Functional morphology of thymocytes during physiological fluctuations in hormone balance].
abstract: Some metabolic parameters of thymocytes of noninbred female rats were evaluated by quantitative histochemistry during the estrous cycle. There were cyclic variations in the activity of NAD . H and NADP H-diaphorases as well as in the content of DNA and RNA in thymocytes of all parts of the thymus. The greatest range of variations in the content of nucleic acids was recorded in thymocytes of medulla. The activity of acid phosphatase in thymocytes remained unchanged over the period of the estrous cycle.
