It does this by blocking the sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) which is a protein in the kidney that is responsible for reabsorbing glucose back into the body. Lowering high blood glucose can help prevent nerve problems, blindness, and kidney damage in people with diabetes.
An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault. The tectonic plates are always slowly moving, but they get stuck at their edges due to friction. When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel.
Where do most earthquakes occur? Earthquakes occur when the Earth's plates move and rub against or bump into each other. Quakes occur most frequently along the edges of plates, but they are also common along faults, which can be far from the edge of a plate. Faults are cracks where smaller sections of the plate move against each other.
