1. Stella/iThink software comes with a number of example models from a 
wide range of applications. Included is at least one physiologic model 
on insulin regulation.

2. The book... Hargrove JL. 1998. Dynamic Modeling in the Health Sciences. 
Springer: New York, includes many small physiologic models. Use them for 
ideas... and use them carefully. I detected several formulation "issues" 
(the author is not a system dynamicist).

3. A system dynamics model of human metabolism and energy regulation is
discussed in: Abdel-Hamid, T.K. Modeling the Dynamics of Human Obesity. 
System Dynamics Review, Vol. 18, No. 4, Winter, 2002: 431-471.
