  1. Note that m body (body weight in g), t in (injection time in s), n in and n*,in(amounts of injected unlabeled and labeled insulin in nmol) are also model parameters. We do not give values for them in this table as they depend on the analyzed scenario. Note that the model can be used for rats of arbitrary body weights as well as for different injection times and amounts of injected labeled and unlabeled insulin. Initial conditions are: Ins = 0.07, Ins* = 0, R = 31.619, IR = 0.430007, I 2R = 0.000696311, Rp = 0.227528, IRp = 2.07275, I 2Rp = 0.00363012, R en = 4.88528, IR en = 0.145537, I 2R en = 0.000121295, Rp en = 0.122602, IRp en = 0.492464, I 2Rp en = 0.000433466, Ins ub = 1.29948·10-6·m body , Ins*,ub= 0. The unit of Ins ub and Ins*,ubis nmol, the unit of all other state variables is nM. ass.: assumption, calc.: calculation (see Additional file 4), EN: in endosomes, PM: at the plasma membrane, I 1: one insulin molecule bound to the receptor, I 2: two insulin molecules bound to the receptor.
