Calcium Homeostasis: A Feedback Control Point of View
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the biological sciences, the mathematical approach to studying feedback mechanisms has not been common despite the abundance of such mechanisms in those systems. In this paper, we will try to analyze the calcium homoeostatic mechanism in this context. In addition to a general modeling of this mechanism, the paper will also focus on parturient paresis, a common disease associated with the onset of parturition in dairy cows, due to a large increased demand for calcium.

Time course of dysregulation of calcium homeostasis in acutely isolated CA1 hippocampal pyramidal neurons after pilocarpine-induced Status Epilepticus
Glutamate induces excitotoxic damage to hippocampal pyramidal neurons in Status Epilepticus (SE) and epilepsy. In this study, we investigated time course of dysregulation of calcium homeostasis at various intervals after an episode of SE in acutely isolated CA1hippocampal pyramidal. For this purpose, male Sprague-Dawley rats (200 g) were subjected to pilocarpine-induced SE. The SE was blocked a...

متن کاملCalcium homeostasis and parturient hypocalcemia: an integral feedback perspective.
Calcium is tightly regulated in mammals because of the critical role of calcium ion concentrations in many physiological functions. In this work, we develop a model for calcium homeostasis and identify integral feedback control as a functional module that maintains this homeostasis. We argue that maintaining calcium concentrations in a narrow range and perfect adaptation seen when the calcium h...

متن کاملA new motif for robust perfect adaptation in noisy biomolecular networks
Homeostasis is a running theme in biology. Often achieved through feedback regulation strategies, homeostasis allows living cells to control their internal environment as a means for surviving changing and unfavourable environments. While many endogenous homeostatic motifs have been studied in living cells, synthetic homeostatic circuits have received far less attention. The tight regulation of...
