Abstract: In an air conditioner, a heat medium circuit includes: a first branch part, a first merging part, a second branch part, and a second merging part. A first flow rate adjusting unit is disposed in the heat medium circuit between the first branch part and an outside-air heat exchanger or between the outside-air heat exchanger and the first merging part, and a second flow rate adjusting unit is disposed in the heat medium circuit between the first branch part and the first heater core or between the first heater core and the first merging part. At least one of the first flow rate adjusting unit or the second flow rate adjusting unit is configured to optionally adjust the flow rate of the heat medium, and a controller controls the at least one of the first flow rate adjusting unit or the second flow rate adjusting unit.

Abstract: Provided is a peptide having a short chain length, for example, having the number of amino acid residues of 20 or less and having a high myostatin inhibitory activity. The present invention is a peptide comprising an amino acid sequence represented by Formula (1) in the specification and having the number of amino acid residues of 20 or less.

Abstract: There is provided technology for promoting permeation of a substance into a cell layer. Provided is a cell layer permeation promoter comprising a compound represented by general formula (1). Also provided is a composition for facilitating drug absorption that contains the cell layer permeation promoter, said composition being for facilitating absorption of a drug into a living body. Also provided is a pharmaceutical composition that contains the cell layer permeation promoter and furthermore contains a drug to be absorbed into a living body.
