Differences in neurocranium growth at puberty were studied in rats of both sexes thymectomized and sham-thymectomized at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 days of age and in controls of matched age and sex; skull length, width and height, and skull base length and face length were measured. The neurocranium of the thymectomized rats was significantly smaller than that of the sham-thymectomized and control rats of both sexes and in all age-groups.
对在2、4、6、8、10、12和14日龄时进行胸腺切除和假胸腺切除的雌雄大鼠以及年龄和性别匹配的对照大鼠青春期神经颅骨生长差异进行了研究；测量了颅骨的长度、宽度和高度，以及颅底长度和面部长度。在所有年龄组中，胸腺切除大鼠的神经颅骨明显小于假胸腺切除大鼠和对照大鼠。
