Computer Codes for the American Journal of Physiology Publication

The computer programs below are for American Journal of Physiology, vol. 305, pp. E805-E817, 2013. They are used to predict how, with different models, the K(ATP) conductance would vary during a period of bursting. The programs run with the XPPAUT computer software. XPPAUT is free, and runs on Unix, Linux, and Windows machines. It can be downloaded from the website of Bard Ermentrout .

• Bursting with voltage ramps.
  This was used in Figure 6. It makes use of a parameter file. Fig6.ode, Fig6.ode.par


• Extraction of K(ATP) conductance from a model islet.
  This was used in Figure 7. Fig7.ode


• K(ATP) conductance changes for two models
  This was used in Figure 8. Panels A,C are for the Keizer-Magnus model, while B,D are for the Dual Oscillator Model. Fig8AC.ode, Fig8BD.ode
