Summary

The change of proportion of organ weights for the liver, intestines, lung, kidney, thymus, heart and spleen were analysed for 33 Japanese fetuses (sexes combined) by multivariate allometry. The thymus showed the highest allometric coefficient, and the spleen the next highest. The intestines, heart, liver, kidney showed medium coefficients, and the lung had the lowest.

Zusammenfassung

Die Veränderung des anteiligen Organgewichts für Leber, Eingeweide, Lunge, Niere, Thymus, Herz und Milz wurde bei 33 japanischen Feten (beide Geschlechter zusammen) durch multivariate Allometrie untersucht. Der Thymus zeigte den höchsten Allometrie-Koeffizienten, die Milz den nächsthöchsten. Eingeweide, Herz, Leber und Niere zeigten mittlere Koeffizienten und die Lunge den niedrigsten.

Résumé

Les changements de proportion des poids d'organes: foie, intestins, poumons, reins, thymus, coeur et rate ont été analysés chez 33 foetus japonais (sexes réunis) par allométrie multivariée. Le thymus montrait le coefficient d'allométrie le plus élevé, et la rate le suivant. Les intestins, le coeur, le foie et les reins montraient des coefficients moyens, et les poumons avaient le coefficient le plus bas.
