Abstract: A group $G$ is said to be $n$-centralizer if its number of element centralizers $midCent(G)mid=n$, an F-group if every non-central element centralizer contains no other element centralizer and a CA-group if all non-central element centralizers are abelian. For any non-abelian $n$-centralizer group $G$, we prove that $midfracGZ(G)midleq(n-2{)}^2$, if $nleq12$ and $midfracGZ(G)midleq2(n-4{)}^{{log}_2^{(n-4)}}$ otherwise, which improves an earlier result. We prove that if $G$ is an arbitrary non-abelian $n$-centralizer F-group, then gcd$(n-2,midfracGZ(G)mid)eq1$. For a finite F-group $G$, we show that $midCent(G)midgeqfracmidGmid2$ iff $Gcong{A}_4$, an extraspecial $2$-group or a Frobenius group with abelian kernel and complement of order $2$. Among other results, for a finite group $G$ with non-trivial center, it is proved that $midCent(G)mid=fracmidGmid2$ iff $G$ is an extraspecial $2$-group. We give a family of F-groups which are not CA-groups and extend an earlier result.
