An overview of some of the mathematical models appearing in the literature for use in the
glucose-insulin regulatory system in relation to diabetes is given, enhanced with a survey on …

Context Reduced energy expenditure following weight loss is thought to contribute to weight
gain. However, the effect of dietary composition on energy expenditure during weight-loss …

A simulation model of the glucose-insulin system in the postprandial state can be useful in
several circumstances, including testing of glucose sensors, insulin infusion algorithms and …

Background In vitro experiments suggest that circulating metabolites of oxycodone are
opioid receptor agonists. Clinical and animal studies to date have failed to demonstrate a …
