Calcium Homeostasis: A Feedback Control Point of View

In the biological sciences, the mathematical approach to studying feedbackmechanisms has not been common despite the abundance of such mechanismsin those systems. In this paper, we will try to analyze the calcium homoeostatic mechanism in this context. In addition to a general modeling of this mechanism, the paper will also focus on parturient paresis, a common disease associated with the onset of parturition in dairy cows, due to a large increased demand for calcium.
