Liver Function
肝功能
The liver is the largest internal organ in your body and then it has over 250 different functions.
肝脏是人体内最大的内脏器官，它具有 250 多种不同的功能。
The liver produces bile, and bile is important because it breaks down fats into smaller droplets so it can be easily absorbed in the digestive tract. The liver processes nutrients, for instance, the liver converts glucose into glycogen.
肝脏产生胆汁，而胆汁很重要，因为它将脂肪分解成更小的液滴，从而更容易被消化道吸收。肝脏加工营养物质，例如，肝脏将葡萄糖转化为糖原。
Glucose is the most common carbohydrate and a key source of energy for all cells in the body, and glycogen is a form of energy storage of glucose. Speaking of glucose the liver regulates blood glucose levels, and high blood glucose levels can damage nerves and blood vessels or lead to type 2 diabetes.
葡萄糖是最常见的碳水化合物，也是人体内所有细胞的主要能量来源，而糖原是葡萄糖的一种能量储存形式。关于葡萄糖，肝脏调节血糖水平，而高血糖水平会损害神经和血管或导致 II 型糖尿病。
The liver is also the great detoxifier, for example, it detoxifies alcohol and converts some fat soluble toxins into a water-soluble form, which can then be eliminated in urine.
肝脏也是重要的解毒剂，例如，它可以解酒，将一些脂溶性毒素转化为水溶性形式，然后随尿液排出。
The liver also acts as a storage container, as it stores about 400 calories worth of energy in the form of glycogen, and it also stores iron, copper, vitamin B12, and all of the fat soluble vitamins, A, D, E, and K.
肝脏也是一种储存容器，因为它以糖原的形式储存约 400 卡路里的能量，也储存铁、铜、维生素 B12 和所有脂溶性维生素 A、D、E 和 K。
The liver synthesizes blood clotting proteins, blood plasma proteins, and transport proteins that carry fats and fat soluble vitamins, just to name a few. It also produces several hormones and takes part in breaking down and eliminating excess hormones.
其他功能，如肝脏合成凝血蛋白、血浆蛋白和携带脂肪和脂溶性维生素的运输蛋白。它也产生多种激素，参与分解和清除多余的激素。
The liver takes part in breaking down and recycling red blood cells, and I could go on, and on, and on, but, I think you probably get the point, that the liver has many important functions, thus making it an extremely important organ in your body. So, take care of it. And that be the functions of the liver.
肝脏参与红细胞的分解和循环，我还能继续讲解更多功能，但是，我认为大家可能有所掌握，肝脏有许多重要的功能，因此它是人体中一个极其重要的器官。我们需要细心呵护它！这就是肝脏的功能。
