1 Instead, the team discovered that the pituitary does not lose its ability to respond to insulin..这样一来，研究团队发现脑垂体并不会消失对胰岛素响应的能力。

2 As insulin levels rise with weight gain, the pituitary releases ever higher levels of the fertility-regulating luteinizing hormone..随着体重增加，继而胰岛素水平上升，脑垂体释放更多调节生育的促黄体激素。

3 Chronically high levels of luteinizing hormone and other signals released by the pituitary disrupt the natural cycle of fertility hormones that signal the ovaries to release eggs..由脑垂体持续释放更多的促黄体激素和其他信号，这便破坏了传递信号给卵巢释放卵子的生育激素正常循环。
