“…The average frequency of the Y-body positivc cell nuclei from root cclls of hairs in these three different groups of patients (split Y-bodies being regarded a\ one normal body (Schwinger 1972) No difference was found in the frequency and morphology of the Y-body in patients with gonads and in those from whom the gonads had been removed. Except for one case of pseudohermaphroditism in which a small, distinctly circumscribed Y-fluore-scent-body was seen, the size and structure of the Y-bodies in all cases were typical of normal malcs.…”
