A mathematical model of type 1 diabetes involving leptin effects on glucose metabolism

•A mathematical model of brain-centered glucoregulatory system is proposed.•Effects of leptin on hyperglycemia are quantified.•Leptin administration drastically improves insulin therapy. Leptin, a hormone released from fat cells in adipose tissues, was recently found to be capable of normalizing glu...
