on the other hand , a physiological reduction in growth rate ( i.e . growth deceleration ) effected during the transition from pre-puberty ( 35-day-old rats ) to maturity ( 80-day-old rats ) is achieved by simultaneous decreases in several chondrocyte parameters , including cell height ( i.e . phenotype modulation ) , cell volume and proliferation rate ( in the longitudinal direction ) .
