Initially, 1,478 records are identified from databases. 553 duplicate records are removed, resulting in 925 records screened. 115 records are excluded, leaving 810 reports sought for retrieval. Of these, 232 are not retrieved. 578 reports are assessed for eligibility, with exclusions for publication year (229), animal models (85), and improper compound blend focus (88), leaving 176 studies included in the review.
