It has many of the opposite effects that insulin has, so not only does insulin go down and stop these behaviors but a new hormone called glucagon gets produced which reinforces that change.

它产生的很多效应都与胰岛素相反,所以不仅是胰岛素的减少,导致血糖水平停止下降,胰高血糖素这种新激素的产生,也会强化该效应

Example, protein hormones are insulin which we've talked about before and glucagon, and growth hormone which we haven't talked about but that's very important during periods of life like adolescence, when rapid growth of your bones is occurring.

例如,我们以前讲过的胰岛素,还有胰高血糖素都是蛋白质激素,生长激素也是,尽管我们还没有讲过它,但它在人的青春期阶段,起着非常重要的作用,骨骼在此时期快速生长
