Summary
In a rat CMS model, Selank enhances the anxiolytic effect of diazepam. A Selank-alone arm is present per the full text but its independent effect size is modest compared to the combination.
Limitations
Combination-focused design; rat model only; small per-arm groups; behavioural readouts subject to observer bias.
