Description:

In this presentation a model for the hormonal regulation of the reproductive endocrine system in the adult male rat will be discussed. The model includes a description of the kinetics of the androgenic hormones testosterone and dihydrotestosterone, as well as the receptor-mediated regulation of prostate size and function by these two androgens. Numerical and parameter estimation methods for the resulting system of differential algebraic equations will be presented. (This abstract does not reflect EPA policy.)
