A dynamic multi-tissue model to study human metabolism

Abstract Metabolic modeling enables the study of human metabolism in healthy and in diseased conditions, e.g., the prediction of new drug targets and biomarkers for metabolic diseases. To accurately describe blood and urine metabolite dynamics, the integration of multiple metabolically active tissue...
