Abstract:
The goal of this paper is to present a hardware realization of the feed-forward and feedback hypothalamic-pituitary growth hormone (GH) secretion mechanism based on a bio-mathematical nonlinear delay differential equation model developed by Farhy et al. (2003) and Veldhuis et al. (2001). Behavioral modeling is implemented through Verilog hardware descriptive language (HDL) to simulate the antagonistic and stimulatory interaction of growth hormone, growth hormone releasing hormone (GHRH) and somatotropin release inhibiting factor (SRIF). The model is synthesized using computer aided design (CAD) tools and is promulgated through a combinational complex programmable logic device (CPLD)/field programmable grid array (FPGA) Xilinx XSA-50 microchip. The microchip sequentially displays the decimal equivalents of the time changing hormonal concentration levels of the biomathematical model.
