APSU Men’s Basketball

Brentwood, TN – For the second consecutive week, freshman frontcourter Will Triggs, of the Austin Peay State University men’s basketball team has been named the adidas® Ohio Valley Conference Freshman of the Week.

Against the Tigers, Triggs made 4-of-8 field goals and 3-of-5 from the line to finish with 11 points, making it four straight double-figure scoring performances. He also grabbed six boards, helping the Govs outrebounded the Tigers 35-32.

For the week, Triggs averaged 18.0 points, 7.0 rebounds and 2.0 assists, all while shooting .667 (14-of-21) from the floor and .800 (8-of-10) from the free-throw line.

Treating Diabetes With Less Need for Insulin

New approach lowers blood sugar in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes

Boston, MA – Diabetes can result from either a deficiency of insulin (type 1 or insulin-dependent diabetes) or decreased sensitivity to insulin (type 2 diabetes).  Researchers at Children’s Hospital Boston have discovered a mechanism for normalizing blood sugar that doesn’t involve insulin and could offer a new therapeutic approach to both kinds of diabetes.

Reporting in Nature Medicine online on February 13th, Umut Ozcan, MD, and colleagues in Children’s Division of Endocrinology show that a regulatory protein called XBP-1s, when activated artificially in the liver, can normalize high blood sugar in both lean, insulin-deficient type 1 diabetic mice and obese, insulin-resistant type 2 diabetic mice. This suggests that approaches aimed at increasing XBP-1s activity may benefit patients with either type of diabetes. «Read the rest of this article»
