| Abstract | The Euglycemic Hyperinsulinemic Clamp (EHC) is the most widely used experimental procedure for the determination of insulin sensitivity. In the present study, 16 subjects with BMI between 18.5 and 63.6 kg/m2 have been studied with a long-duration (5 hours) EHC. In order to explain the oscillations of glycemia occurring in response to the hyperinsulinization and to the continuous glucose infusion at varying speeds, we first hypothesized a system of ordinary differential equations (ODEs), with limited success. We then extended the model and represented the experiment using a system of stochastic differential equations (SDEs). The latter allow for distinction between (i) random variation imputable to observation error and (ii) system noise (intrinsic variability of the metabolic system), due to a variety of influences which change over time. The stochastic model of the EHC was fitted to data and the system noise was estimated by means of a (simulated) maximum likelihood procedure, for a series of different hypothetical measurement error values. We showed that, for the whole range of reasonable measurement error values: (i) the system noise estimates are non-negligible; and (ii) these estimates are robust to changes in the likely value of the measurement error. Explicit expression of system noise is physiologically relevant in this case, since glucose uptake rate is known to be affected by a host of additive influences, usually neglected when modeling metabolism. While in some of the studied subjects system noise appeared to only marginally affect the dynamics, in others the system appeared to be driven more by the erratic oscillations in tissue glucose transport rather than by the overall glucose-insulin control system. It is possible that the quantitative relevance of the unexpressed effects (system noise) should be considered in other physiological situations, represented so far only with deterministic models. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
