Fuzzy Deconvolution of Pulsatile Hormone Secretion
نویسنده
چکیده
Hormone secretion is an intrinsically discontinuous process characterized by a pul-satile pattern. In this paper we describe a fuzzy deconvolution method for pulsatile hormone secretion signals. The secretion signal is modeled as a Poisson process. The fuzzy deconvolution method is based on fuzzy identiication by using learning signals, mountain clustering and optimal output predefuzziication. The predefuzziication part of the fuzzy deconvolution method includes the possibility to partially control the consequent parameters of the Fuzzy Inference System. The method is applied for a benchmark problem, concerning the deconvolution of Luteinizing Hormone secretion.

Fuzzy Deconvolution of Hormone Time-Series
In this paper we describe a method to nd the Instantaneous Secretion Rate of a hormone. The dynamics of the relation between secretion rate and peripheral plasma hormone concentration is rst identiied by using learning signals. The fuzzy identii-cation method is based on fuzzy clustering and optimal output predefuzziication. The proposed method leads to a fuzzy inference system which is able to...
متن کاملPulsatile insulin secretion by human pancreatic islets.
Insulin is secreted in discrete bursts. These pulses are also present when individual or groups of islets are perifused. Interpretation of the measured frequency and magnitude of pulsatile hormone secretion requires an examination of the sensitivity and specificity of the methods for pulse detection and validation of these for the experimental apparatus and hormone assay in which they are appli...

متن کاملBayesian deconvolution analysis of pulsatile hormone concentration profiles.
Many hormones are secreted into the circulatory system in a pulsatile manner and are cleared exponentially. The most common method of analyzing these systems is to deconvolve the hormone concentration into a secretion function and a clearance function. Accurate estimation of the model parameters depends on the number and location of the secretion pulses. To date, deconvolution analysis assumes ...
متن کاملEffects of acute ACE inhibition on pulsatile renin and aldosterone secretion and their synchrony.
Pulsatile (burstlike) secretion of renin and aldosterone is positively coupled with a short time lag of about 10 to 20 minutes. We investigated how acute interruption of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone axis, ie, acute angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition, alters the pattern of renin and aldosterone secretion. Eight healthy men (mean age, 22+/-1 years) were studied while on standardi...
