    Abstract We assessed the role of elderberry extract as a nutraceutical in Nile tilapia to modulate their stress and immune responses under density stress. In the experiment, we maintained tilapia at low (5 g/L) and high population density (120 g/L). We fed half of the low and high-density fish with commercial feed, and the other half, with membrane-separated 13% anthocyanin standardized elderberry extract with maltodextrin excipient, incorporated into commercial feed. We assessed plasma cortisol, blood glucose, IL-2, lysozyme activity, and spleen cell numbers for acute and chronic stress. Among them, blood glucose levels indicated the stress-modulating capability of elderberry in both acute and chronic stress conditions. Plasma cortisol concentrations also demonstrated the potential of elderberry as a stress-modulating agent in chronic stress. Based on our findings, elderberry could potentially be used as a nutraceutical to modulate stress and immune response in vertebrates.

    Abstract This study evaluates the effects of Cannabidiol (CBD) on the physiology of stressed and non-stressed Nile tilapia, reared in a recirculating aquaculture system. Tilapia were fed with and without CBD (0.001% of feed weight) and with and without hydrocortisone stress hormone (0.01% of body weight) every day for four weeks. This experiment compared the plasma cortisol, blood glucose and protein levels, liver and spleen somatic indices (HSI and SSI, respectively), and lysozyme activity of the fish. Stress group (S) had a significantly higher value than the control group (C) in two of the parameters, glucose and lysozyme activity, this is an indication of stress. CBD had a stress reducing effect under stressed conditions in lysozyme activity. Although not significant, the stress reducing effect of CBD on stress biomarkers such as glucose and HSI also seemed promising. Further investigation into the matter may not just be useful in stress mediation in aquatic organisms but may also have implications in human medicine as well.

    Abstract This study evaluates the effects of Cannabidiol (CBD) on the haematological parameters of acutely stressed and non‐stressed Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus, Linnaeus), reared in a recirculating aquaculture system. O. niloticus were fed with and without CBD (0, 0.001, 0.002 and 0.003% of feed weight) and with and without hydrocortisone (0 or 0.01% of body weight) for 72 hours. This experiment compared blood glucose, haematocrit and protein levels of the plasma of the fish. Among the non‐stressed groups, fish fed with the highest concentration of CBD showed to have less stress in terms of the stress parameters, while the highest stress was detected in the stressed group supplemented with no CBD. No significant difference in stress was observed between the different concentrations of CBD supplementation of fish in a 72‐hour period.

    Abstract Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most popular emerging plant extracts that is being investigated for its wide range of potential health benefits. This experiment tests how B16 mice melanoma cells, are affected by four different concentrations (0.2 mg/mL, 0.04 mg/mL, 0.008 mg/mL and 0.0016 mg/mL) of 99% CBD oil. The results of this experiment demonstrate that CBD significantly inhibited melanoma cell growth
