SPINA

---

SPINA (Structure Parameter Inference Approach) is a method for calculating constant structure parameters of endocrine feedback control systems from hormone levels obtained in vivo.

SPINA Carb is SPINA's second implementation. The equations deliver biomarkers for insulin sensitivity and pancreatic beta cell function. The methodology has been validated in two cohorts.
