Abstract
A study is reported of whole amounts of jejunal mesenteries from 7 species of rodents (rabbit, rat, mouse, guinea pig, hamster, meadow vole and 13-striped ground squirrel) for evidence of nuclear sexual dimorphism. Between 58% and 96% of the large mesothelial cell nuclei in the females of these species show a characteristic sex chromatin body while the percentages of similar nuclei in males do not exceed 10%. In the mouse, guinea pig and hamster the nuclei of both sexes may contain 2 to 5 chromocenters. However, the sex chromatin can be recognized in females because of its characteristic shape, size and position in the nucleus.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
