Abstract

In fasted and fed states, blood insulin levels are oscillatory. While this phenomenon is well studied at high glucose levels, comparatively little is known about its origin under basal conditions. We propose a possible mechanism for basal insulin oscillations based on oscillations in glycolysis, demonstrated using an established mathematical model. At high glucose, this is superseded by a calcium-dependent mechanism.
