Loss of cell-to-cell communication, i.e. due to lack of connexin 26 expression, leads to retarded development and failure to acquire hearing [18], [19], [20].
Meth-R diet also increases maximum lifespan in CB6F1 mice whether initiated at 6 weeks or at 12 months of age and retards development of age-related declines in T cell subset distribution and eye lens transparency (Miller et al., 2005; Sun et al., 2009).
Good drainage is especially important for early vegetables because wet soil retards development.
To be sure, it doesn't itself explicitly provide us with a story about how Erôs can act as a force which retards development.
*Congenital hypothyroidism, affecting one baby in 4,000, in which a deficiency of thyroid hormone severely retards growth and brain development.
Here, we show that one of these compounds (propiconizole) retards larval development and delays metamorphosis, and two others (tebupirimphos and cyfluthrin) retard larval growth.
It is a potent endocrine disruptor that both chemically castrates and feminizes exposed male amphibian larvae and also retards larval development and growth (Carr et al. 2003; du Preez et al. 2005, Hayes 2004, 2005; Hayes et al. 2002a, 2002b, 2002c, 2006; Reeder et al. 1998; Tavera-Mendoza et al. 2002a, 2002b).
Fröhlich's syndrome, also called Adiposogenital Dystrophy, rare childhood metabolic disorder characterized by obesity, growth retardation, and retarded development of the genital organs.
Although contrary cases exist [e.g., 26], this work complements several previous studies of various caterpillar species showing that the host's ingestion of plant secondary compounds can retard growth and development of its parasitoids [reviewed in 27], [28]; [see also 29], [30].
