A delayed mathematical model for testosterone secretion with feedback control mechanism (Q1774647)

Summary: A mathematical model describing the biochemical interactions of the theluteinizing hormone (LH), luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH), and testosterone (T) is presented. The model structure consists of a negative feedback mechanism with transportation and secretion delays of different hormones. A comparison of stability and bifurcation analysis in the presence and absence of delays has been performed. Mathematical implications of castration and testosterone infusion are also studied.
