And, the article did not demonstrate that morphological change was indicative of damage. That was yet another of the assumptions made. An a priori assumption. Talk about petitio principii (begging the question), this is a classic case of it.
Just to put it into an absurd context, you do that same experiment with water, once, and you'd not be around for day 2. These rats survived the fluoxetine exposure. One could argue that fluoxetine is safer than water.
I wouldn't argue that, but you do have to consider what has been demonstrated by this *preliminary* study, from which follow-up work was supposed to take place, and seemingly never did. Nothing to publish?
It raised questions, but didn't answer one.
