The Minimal Model Approach and Determinants of Glucose Tolerance: v. 7 (Pennington Centre Nutrition S.) - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

Contains 17 papers from the June 1994 Third International Symposium on Minimal Modeling, which represents the marriage of computer science with the biological study of diabetes mellitus. The papers are divided into three sections, the first of which deals with the development and principles of the minimal model and the mathematical approaches to identifying variables in biological systems. The second section covers the measurement of insulin secretion using the minimal model and C- peptide, the metabolic pathways for glucose metabolism, and the possibilities of applying the model to genetics. The final section discusses not only clinical applications but insulin resistance observed in cancer, aging, and obesity. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
