The Effect of Different Forms for the Delay in A Model of the Nephron by Anne C. Skeldon, Ian Purvey

“…We investigate how the dynamics of a mathematical modelof a nephron depend on the precise form of the delayin the tubuloglomerular feedback loop.Although qualitative behavioral similarities emerge fordifferent orders of delay, wefind that significant quantitative differences occur.Without more knowledge of theform of the delay, this places restrictions on howreasonable it is to expect closequantitative agreement between the mathematicalmodel and experimental data.…”
