Germ cell numbers in human embryonic and fetal gonads during the first two trimesters of pregnancy: analysis of six published studies

18 May 2011

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The number of germ cells in human embryonic and fetal ovaries in relation to age is currently based on volumetric estimations from one study including a total of 12 ovaries. Six recent publications present stereological estimations of the number of germ cells in ovaries and testes for the first two trimesters. METHODS: Germ cell numbers from 103 human first and second trimester gonads aged 37-133 days...
