On the stability of Murray's testosterone model

Molecular Networks 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We prove the global asymptotic stability of a well-known delayed negative-feedback model of testosterone dynamics, which has been proposed as a model of oscillatory behavior. We establish stability (and hence the impossibility of oscillations) even in the presence of delays of arbitrary length.
