Cell number and cell size: organ growth and development and the control of catch-up growth in rats.
One of the most important hypotheses for the control of catch-up after nutritional growth restriction relates developmental vulnerability to an early phase of cell multiplication, rather than to a later phase of growth of cell size. A re-examination of growing tissues, however, does not show the expected sequence of growth events, and the former hypothesis is therefore not supported.
