TL;DR: Defective insulin secretion seems to be a predominant defect in lean GDM subjects, indicating that it might represent a specific prediabetic condition during pregnancy and after delivery.

TL;DR: PSA appears to be a powerful tool in the determination of autonomic tone in diabetic CAN and offers a picture of overall autonomic activity that can be explored only partially by traditional cardiovascular autonomic tests and can reveal parasympathetic versus sympathetic dyssynergia.

TL;DR: Diet HP is beneficial through maintenance of normal insulin sensitivity of fat metabolism in obese cats, facilitating the loss of fat during weight loss, and increasing heat production in lean cats, and shows that insulinensitivity of glucose and fat metabolism can be differentially regulated in cats.

TL;DR: Good correspondence between experimental data and model estimates for prehepatic insulin secretion is found, whereas estimation of hepatic insulin extraction and insulin clearance needs further investigation for improvement.

TL;DR: A new set of sensitivity functions, called the generalized sensitivity functions (GSF), are proposed, based on information theoretical criteria, for the analysis of input–output identification experiments and provide a more accurate picture on the information content of measured outputs on individual model parameters at different times.
