Model Status
This CellML model runs in OpenCell and COR, and the units are consistent. The model is an accurate representation of the published model (equations 1a-1c), and runs to recreate the published results (figure 4). Parameter values were taken from the legend of figure 4.
Model Structure
ABSTRACT: A system of three non-linear differential equations with exponential feedback terms is proposed to model the self-regulating cortisol secretion system and explain the fluctuation patterns observed in clinical data. It is shown that the model exhibits bifurcation and chaos patterns for a certain range of parametric values. This helps us to explain clinical observations and characterize different dynamic behaviors of the self-regulative system.

I've checked the model in COR and I've made all the units (except time) dimensionless to be true to the paper. I've also replaced the stimulus equation with a cosine function. This is the original stimulus. The equation I'd included in the previous model was taken from a theoretical study. I think the CellML model can recreate the original model's results. I can't be 100% sure though as the figures published in the paper are based on altering the model in a matrix form... and I can't set those initial conditions because they're not mentioned in the core model.
