Background Δ 9 -Tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ 9 -THC) is a principal psychoactive extract of Cannabis sativa and has been traditionally used as palliative medicine for neuropathic pain. Cannabidiol (CBD), an extract of hemp species, has recently attracted increased attention as a cancer treatment, but Δ 9 -THC is also requiring explored pharmacological application. Objective This study evaluated the pharmacological effects of Δ 9 -T...

Photosynthetic organisms shift the dynamics of surface pCO 2 driven by the sea surface temperature change (thermodynamic driver) by assimilating inorganic C from seawater. Here we measured net C uptake in a macroalgal habitat of coastal Korea for two years (2019-2020) and found that the macroalgal habitat contributed 5.8 g C m −2 month −1 of the net C uptake during the growing period (the cooling period, September−May). This m...

Knowledge of physiological responses of important shellfish species to rising temperatures is crucial in assessing the impacts of climate change on marine aquaculture production. The physiological components of energy balance that support growth performance were measured seasonally at different exposure temperatures in the ark clams ( Anadara kagoshimensis ) cultured in the shallow muddy bottom sediment in Yeoja Bay, Korea. We...
