MANHATTAN -- 1xbet sports betting in the College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University is leading to a better understanding of the molecular interactions in the 1xbet sports betting gland related to cystic fibrosis.

A genetic disorder, cystic fibrosis affects the function of epithelia, the tissues formed of cells that secrete and absorb an array of substances important for health.

The university's Peying Fong, associate professor of anatomy and physiology, has received a 5,000 grant from the Department of Health and Human Services in support of her study, "CFTR Regulation of 1xbet sports betting Transport."

"We are looking at a cellular mechanism that is essential to production of thyroxine and triiodothyronine, which are hormones that modulate development, growth and metabolism in both prenatal and postnatal cell life," Fong said. "Iodide is an essential component of these 1xbet sports betting hormones. Its rarity in the environment challenges the 1xbet sports betting to orchestrate a remarkable series of transport processes that are critical for hormone synthesis."

In addition to actively extracting iodidethrough the circulation process, 1xbet sports betting cells must also translocate iodide into a central compartment within 1xbet sports betting follicles, where it begins to combine with thyroglobulin to form the precursor to 1xbet sports betting hormone.

"Through this study, we are seeking to better understand the molecular interactions between the Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Conductance Regulator, or CFTR, and SLC5A8, which are two transport proteins found in 1xbet sports betting ," Fong said. "These proteins may play a role in moving iodide into the follicular lumen."

Fong's project is classified by the National Institutes of Health as an R15 Academic 1xbet sports betting Enhancement Award. The NIH uses such awards to strengthen 1xbet sports betting environments at educational institutions as well as to promote the exposure of students to academic 1xbet sports betting . This is a renewable grant and helps cover expenses for a period of up to three years.

Fong said that the groundwork for her 1xbet sports betting project originally began with funding from the Kansas State University's Center of Biomedical 1xbet sports betting Excellence, or COBRE, and NIH project "Epithelial Function in Health and Disease"; a grant-in-aid from the American Heart Association Midwest Affiliate; and an Innovative 1xbet sports betting Award from the university's Johnson Center for Basic Cancer 1xbet sports betting .
