Number of germ cells and somatic cells in human fetal testes during the first weeks after sex differentiation

1 Jan 2003

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: This study presents the number of germ cells and somatic cells in human fetal ovaries during week 6 to week 9 post conception, i.e. the first weeks following sex differentiation of the gonads. METHODS: One ovary with attached mesonephros from each of 11 individual legal abortions was used for estimation of cell numbers. After recovery of the fetus, the ovary-mesonephric complexes were immediately...
