In reply to please clarify on Desipramine being genotoxic, posted by Roslynn on July 11, 2008, at 16:47:55
this may indicate that it is not just mutagenic on specific cells, but very literally mutagenic, causing mutated offspring?
if it causes low sperm count by killing many of them, perhaps by being especially damaging towards germ (sex) cells (not diploid, cannot repair as if diploid, may represent special vulnerability?), it doesn't defend any idea that those surviving are reliably harmless, and may possibly or likely have mutations that can pass in a sperm cell, but for unfortunate offspring who may not even have obvious defects, but may have gene coding defects for say their D1 receptors or something and they end up with lovely immobilizing symptoms doctors shrug at for their whole lives while they wish they were dead...
i'll post links later. it takes so much time and is a mess for me to post due to my executive and organization trouble. it ruins so many posts, and i give up all the time.
