The authors describe the pathomorphological findings in the thymus, female genital organs and Bartholin's glands in 413 slaughter calves with white skeletal musculature. Anabolic substances like oestrogens, androgens, and corticosteroids had most likely been administered to a total of 302 of these animals. In all cases thymic atrophy was present. Microcysts of the ovaries were seen in 17% of the cases, mucometra of the uterus in 49%, hydrometra in 23%, and squamous metaplasia in Bartholin's glands in 15%.
作者描述了413头白色骨骼肌的屠宰小牛胸腺、雌性生殖器官和巴氏腺的病理形态学发现。这些动物中共有302头很可能被注射了雌激素、雄激素和皮质类固醇等合成代谢物质。所有病例均出现胸腺萎缩。17%的病例可见卵巢微囊肿，49%的病例可见子宫积黏液，23%的病例可见子宫积水，15%的病例可见巴氏腺鳞状化生。
