Would taking SEMAX prevent some of the benefits of exercise? Would it potentiate others?

So SEMAX appears to be a good drug to prevent hypoxia related neuronal damage. As such, it seems plausible that taking semax during intense aerobic exercise would be a good way to reduce the damage that could potentially take place with it.
However, would it reduce the expression of VEGF? If that were the case, what would you say is better: less hypoxia or more VEGF? It seems like a part of the VEGF that acts on the brain is actually produced outside of it so my guess is that taking SEMAX before exercise would produce a net gain. I'm no medical authority though, so I ask /r/Nootropics.
My other question is if SEMAX, being that it increases the response to amphetamine, would be beneficial in regards to the motivation boost produced by exercise through dopamine and beta-phenilalanine increase.
Do you see any other reason to take SEMAX apart from the previous? Has anyone experimented with the effects of SEMAX on mood or performance while exercising?

Advair always contains a corticosteroid which is an important point not overlook. This reduces inflammation and provides other benefits through a completely separate mechanism of action.
Regardless, I wouldn't spend much effort on OP. I don't quite understand his reactions nor some of his original reasoning. You've done your best here and he wasn't receptive so just forget it.

OP explained he was joking with a reference from 40 Year Old Virgin. So he was not actually trying to be combative. I just did not get the reference. Haha

That's true, it does contain fluticasone. I forgot about that. It's the second ingredient, salmeterol, that's the beta-adrenergic agonist. It never really worked for my activity-induced asthma. Montelukast does the trick, though.
