On the stability of Murray's testosterone model
نویسندگان
چکیده
We prove the global asymptotic stability of a well-known delayed negativefeedback model of testosterone dynamics, which has been proposed as a model of oscillatory behavior. We establish stability (and hence the impossibility of oscillations) even in the presence of delays of arbitrary length.

Effect of Adiantum Capillus veneris Linn on an Animal Model of Testosterone-Induced Hair Loss
Androgenetic alopecia is the most common form of hair loss in men. The present study was designed to evaluate the hair growth-promoting activity of a preparation of the Adiantum capillus veneris Linn. (A. capillus veneris Linn.) on albino mice using a testosterone-induced alopecia model. Five groups of albino mice were studied: (A) Testosterone solution only (n=6); (B) Testosterone + Finasteri...
متن کاملAnalysis of the optimality principles responsible for vascular network architectonics
The equivalence of two optimality principles leading to Murray's law has been discussed. The first approach is based on minimization of biological work needed for maintaining the blood flow through the vessels at required level. The second one is the principle of minimal drag and lumen volume. Characteristic features of these principles are considered. An alternative approach leading to Murray'...

متن کاملP-214: Testosterone to Induce Mice Models for The Study of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Background: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common causes of anovulation, infertility and hyperandrogenism in women, affecting 5-10% of women of reproductive age. Due to the ethical limitations on human experimentation, appropriate animal models that mimic many or all PCOS characteristics would facilitate research leading to improved understanding of the pathogenesis of PCOS...
