Abstract

Experiments on white mice under the model immobilization stress condition showed that a combined action of mexidole, diazepam, thymogen, and hyperbaric oxygenation (pathogenetic therapy) leads to optimization of the behavioral reactions, which is manifested by a decrease in the level of anxiety, increase in the locomotor and research activity, and normalization of the cortisole level. This effect is explained by a complex pharmacological action of all factors on the immune and endocrine mechanisms of the stress pathogenesis.
