In this work a phenomenological based semiphysical model for the transport of glucose between liver and abdominal adipose subcutaneous tissue is proposed using analogies among steps of the physiological process and unit operations from process engineering. The three most relevant analogies regarding glucose transport time are: blood vessels as a pipe network with accesories, capillaries walls as semipermeable membranes and subcutaneous adipose tissue as a fixed bed tower. Model results show that more than 90% of transport delay time is caused by glucose mass transfer across capillaries walls and through interstitial fluid (ISF). The calculated delay time between glucose concentration in blood and ISF is in accordance with reported data in literature, in the order of 9 minutes.
