The anterior pituitary of athymic homozygous "nude" (nu nu) mice shows signs of reduced activity of the acidophilic cells, nuclear volumes of which lag significantly behind normal values. Also there is a significant deficiency in the number of basophilic cells. A similar deficiency is found in the numbers of Purkinje cells of the cerebellum, which in addition also show a reduction in size, as part of an overall reduction of cerebellum size.
无胸腺纯合“裸”（nu nu）小鼠的腺垂体显示嗜酸性细胞活性降低的迹象，其细胞核体积显著落后于正常值。此外，嗜碱性细胞数量明显不足。在小脑的浦肯野细胞数量上也发现了类似的不足，并且浦肯野细胞的大小也减小，这是小脑整体大小减小的一部分。
