Coefficients of normal blood glucose regulation

Bolie, Victor W.·1961·Journal of Applied Physiology

Abstract

A previously formulated glucose-insulin feed-back theory was simplified with appropriate assumptions for the purpose of determining which physiological sensitivity coefficients dominate the mathematical characteristics of the normal insulin and glucose tolerance curves. It was found from experimental data that these physiological coefficients approximate the well-known critical damping criteria of servomechanism theory. Correlations between theoretical and experimental results were made with some particular solutions of the necessary differential equations, obtained with the aid of an electronic analogue computer. Using a distribution volume of 17.5 liters for the 70-kg adult in three different methods of approach, it was found that the average coefficients of the insulin and glucose responses of the liver, pancreas, and peripheral tissues are approximately ⍺ = 0.780 unit/hr/unit, β = 0.208 unit/hr/g, γ = 4.34 g/hr/unit, and δ = 2.92 g/hr/g.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
