Contrinsular factor is a factor that reduces or even stops the action of insulin. These factors are sometimes considered in the context of blood glucose regulation, but their existence is important to consider in any physiological homeostasis. In recent years, it has turned out that the counterinsulatory cascade of functions also plays an important role in energy metabolism, regulation of the nervous system and protein metabolism. By studying the mechanism of operation of these factors, you can more effectively control the functioning of the endocrine system and lead a healthy lifestyle. We will talk about them further.
