28% is certainly not negligible. I question the validity of the results and their interpretation, and I would want to see corroborative evidence offered by someone other that Fowler before embracing this notion as fact. I'll try to research the matter further if I have time today. For as long as I can remember, I have seen just about every drug declared to be an inhibitor of MAO at one point or another, including the tricyclics.
