Study of Effects of Blood Amino Acid and Hormone Level for Controlling Triglyceride Accumulation in the Liver of Rats Using Self-Organizing Map

Abstract

Abstract:Effects of blood amino acid and hormone level for triglyceride accumulation in the liver are revealed in some previous studies by experimental method. Since there are large individual differences in these effects, it needs a lot of rats for such experiments. Simulation can help, sometimes substitute experiment in various fields especially in engineering field. Recently, combining a supercomputer and Artificial Intelligence technique, simulation is expanding its scope. In this study, one of such a simulation technique, Self-Organizing Map (SOM), proposed by Kohonen and it is a kind of the Neural Networks and using for the competitive learning, is applied for classifying effects of blood amino acid and hormone level for controlling triglyceride accumulation in the liver of rats.
