A pancreas--cell in the pancreas, for example, needs to make insulin and so the gene for insulin is transcribed.

举个例子,一个胰腺细胞,要分泌胰岛素,那么编码胰岛素蛋白的基因就会被转录

When it does your pancreas receives a signal that your blood glucose has started to go up, and it will secrete insulin.

这时你的胰腺会收到信号,你的血糖水平开始升高了,它就会分泌胰岛素

So maybe - and here thinking about the pancreas has many functions but one of its important functions is to secrete insulin.

胰腺有很多的功能,其中最重要的功能之一,就是分泌胰岛素

What if you injected the gene for insulin into their muscle so that their muscle cells in one particular location started making insulin?

如果你把胰岛素基因注入到患者的肌肉中,使某个部位的肌肉,可以分泌胰岛素

So, there are cells in your pancreas which recognize glucose levels and they secrete insulin in response.

你的胰腺细胞能够,识别血糖水平,并分泌胰岛素作为反馈

Diabetics whose pancreas does not function properly, so don't make enough insulin, don't have enough insulin present for normal glucose metabolism so they can't handle sugars properly.

糖尿病人的胰脏功能失调,因此胰岛素分泌不足,影响了正常的血糖代谢,所以他们不能正常地调节血糖

Your pancreas normally makes insulin.

常人的胰脏会分泌胰岛素
