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.
Earthquakes occur as a result of energy or the seismic waves of tectonic plates sliding against each other. So a place where these tectonic plates are not present, that place will not face an earthquake. It is said earthquakes don't occur in Britain. Written Dec 24, 2013 â¢ View Upvotes.
