Abstract
A method of extracting organ metabolic functions using oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) comprises: a step of measuring an amount of change over time in plasma glucose and plasma insulin at a regular time interval after a subject has consumed a certain quantity of a glucose solution; a step of extracting parameters associated with organ metabolism in a human body by applying the amount of change over time of the measured glucose and insulin to a human organ function model; and a step of diagnosing the metabolic function state of the subject using the extracted parameters.
