Towards Validation of an Endocrine Simulation Model

From a biomedical engineering point of view, the body’s endocrine network can be considered as a high-order feedback control system based on chemical signals-hormones-produced by endocrine glands and endocrine cells embedded in other body tissues. A large number of mathematical models have been developed to simulate subsystems of the body’s endocrine-metabolic network.
