The use of computers to study rates of lipid metabolism

N Baker - Journal of Lipid Research, 1969 - ASBMB
Many complex problems of lipid metabolism are especially suited for multicompartmental
analysis with computers. Examples are presented. The use of a model as a means of
communicating one's working hypothesis and the model as it relates to experimental design
are discussed. A number of principles relating to experimental design and to the
interpretation and presentation of data are illustrated by 12 studies selected from the
literature. These include evaluations of turnover and transport rates of liver and plasma …
