...colleagues at the Joslin Diabetes Center identified the expression of the glucose transporter Glut2 early in embryonic development as a factor in this disparity. However, because Glut2 is necessary for the health of both embryo and mother, Loeken said that a treatment blocking Glut2 is not viable. It is standard medical knowledge that glucose transporter Glut2 moves glucose from blood to cells, allowing faster absorption, according to a press release from the Joslin Diabetes Center. After birth, Glut2 is concentrated in the pancreas and liver, which use Glut2 to detect high levels of glucose in the blood. At high concentrations...

Ranging from $50 to $100, the grants funded food and nonalcoholic beverages to be served at social events. The idea is to give students more options at parties and encourage safe drinking during “high-risk times,” according to DAPA Talya J. Brettler ’08. At least one DAPA-sponsored party this weekend was funded by the Undergraduate Council (UC), as well. Unlike the UC party grants...
