Glucose Homeostasis: Regulation of Blood Glucose01:02

Glucose Homeostasis: Regulation of Blood Glucose

5.5K
Carbohydrates consumed through foods are converted into glucose, a crucial energy source for the body. In the prandial state, high blood glucose levels stimulate the secretion of insulin from the pancreas. Insulin inhibits hepatic glucose production and stimulates glucose uptake and metabolism by muscle and adipose tissue. The excess glucose is converted into glycogen and stored in the liver and muscles.
During fasting, when blood glucose levels are low, the pancreas secretes glucagon. it...

Hormones Regulating Blood Glucose01:16

Hormones Regulating Blood Glucose

9.1K
Insulin is released by beta cells of the pancreas when blood glucose levels are high. It facilitates glucose absorption and utilization in insulin-dependent cells with insulin receptors on their plasma membranes. Insulin promotes glucose uptake by increasing the number of glucose transport proteins in the cell membrane, allowing glucose to enter the cell. As a result, glucose utilization and ATP production are enhanced.
In addition to accelerating glucose uptake and utilization, insulin has...

Glucose Homeostasis: Pancreatic Islets and Insulin Secretion

3.2K
The pancreatic islets comprising only 1%-2% of the volume are highly vascularized and innervated mini-organs. They contain five endocrine cell types, including β cells that secrete insulin, which is synthesized as a single polypeptide chain, preproinsulin, processed to proinsulin, and finally to insulin and C-peptide. This process is complex and regulated, involving the Golgi complex, the endoplasmic reticulum, and the secretory granules of the β cell.
Insulin and C-peptide are...

Microbial Biosensors01:17

Microbial Biosensors

Microbial biosensors are analytical devices that utilize living microbes to detect specific substances through measurable signals. These devices consist of two main components: biosensing organisms and signal-transducing elements. Biosensing organisms, such as Escherichia coli or Saccharomyces cerevisiae, are typically housed in multiwell plates connected to transducers, enabling rapid, real-time detection of target analytes.Signal Generation MechanismWhen a target analyte—such as...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Computational Physiology

Background:

  • Artificial pancreas systems rely on computer simulations, necessitating accurate glucose sensor models.
  • Existing glucose sensor models do not account for reading drop-outs caused by physical pressure.
  • This study introduces an enhanced model addressing this limitation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate an enhanced glucose sensor model that incorporates sensor reading drop-outs.
  • To improve the realism and accuracy of artificial pancreas system simulations.

Main Methods:

  • Augmented an existing one-compartment glucose sensor model to include potential drop-outs.
  • Employed a Bayesian approach to estimate drop-out incidences and magnitudes alongside model parameters.
  • Utilized data from 15 individuals with type 1 diabetes undergoing an artificial pancreas study.

Main Results:

  • The enhanced model estimated an average of 1.71 drop-outs per day.
  • Model fit improved, with weighted residuals reduced from [-4%, 3%] to [-3%, 2%].
  • Deviance information criteria significantly decreased from 2739.72 to 1456.00, indicating better model performance.

Conclusions:

  • The enhanced glucose sensor model provides a more accurate fit for glucose levels.
  • This improved model facilitates more realistic simulations for artificial pancreas system assessment.
  • The findings support the use of this enhanced model in developing advanced diabetes management technologies.
