SPINA: Structure Parameter Inference Approach

SPINA (Structure Parameter Inference Approach) is a methodology to calculate constant structure parameters of endocrine homeostatic systems from steady-state hormone and metabolite concentrations. Methods and equations for thyroid homeostasis (SPINA Thyr) have been described in Dietrich et al. (2012) <doi:10.1155/2012/351864> and Dietrich et al. (2016) <doi:10.3389/fendo.2016.00057>, and for glucose homeostasis (SPINA Carb) in Dietrich et al. (2022) <doi:10.1038/s41598-022-22531-3> and Dietrich et al. (2024) <doi:10.1111/1753-0407.13525>.
