Computational model of in vivo human energy metabolism during semistarvation and refeeding.
Changes in body weight and composition are the result of complex interactions among metabolic fluxes contributing to macronutrient balances. To better understand these interactions, a mathematical model was constructed that used the measured dietary macronutrient intake during semistarvation and refeeding as model inputs and computed whole body energy expenditure, de novo lipogenesis, and gluco...
متن کاملA Computational Study of Metabolism in Sprinting (TECHNICAL NOTE)
In this paper, we develop a mathematical model of sprinting in which anaerobicmetabolism is included. This model is simplified by considering the broad changes of energy leveland the cyclic variation associated with the strike pattern. We consider the effect of the centre of massto the overall energy balance along with force of resistance during initial motion of body. Results areobtained for t...
متن کاملA computational model of mitochondrial AZT metabolism.
The mechanisms of the mitochondrial toxicity of AZT (azidothymidine; zidovudine) are not clear. The two main contenders are the incorporation of phosphorylated AZT into the mtDNA (mitochondrial DNA) and the competitive inhibition of natural deoxynucleotide metabolism. We have built a computational model of AZT metabolism in mitochondria in order to better understand these toxicity mechanisms. T...
متن کاملA Computational Model of Liver Iron Metabolism
Iron is essential for all known life due to its redox properties; however, these same properties can also lead to its toxicity in overload through the production of reactive oxygen species. Robust systemic and cellular control are required to maintain safe levels of iron, and the liver seems to be where this regulation is mainly located. Iron misregulation is implicated in many diseases, and as...
متن کاملDevelopment of a free anthropomorphic voxel model of human body for wide-band computational electromagnetics dosimetry
To calculate and evaluate wave scattering and penetration of electromagnetic waves in different biological tissues it is necessary to use a realistic model of the human body, with all tissues resolved and separately assigned with appropriate electric/magnetic properties. We report the development of a realistic 3D whole-body human model that has been adapted for simulation in CST software, cont...
