Stat Med. 1996 Oct 15;15(19):2107-19. doi: 10.1002/(SICI)1097-0258(19961015)15:19<2107::AID-SIM338>3.0.CO;2-1.

Abstract

We describe an application of recently developed generalized Michaelis-Menten response surface and non-linear mixed model methodologies to model glucose utilization in foetal sheep. More specifically, we model the response surface of glucose utilization rate in the foetal sheep as a function of glucose and insulin concentrations using a three-dimensional analogue of the Michaelis-Menten pharmacokinetic model. To account for multiple measurements per sheep, we apply the non-linear mixed effects model proposed by Lindstrom and Bates using the EM algorithm computational scheme presented by Hirst et al.
