[Electrophoretic study of the protein makepup of the muscles in Zenker's necrosis]

Changes of protein composition within necrotic areas of muscle at the late stages of Zenker's necrosis (3--5 hours after damage) have been studied using the disc-DSN-electrophoresis method. These changes are presumably associated with a disarrangement of the structure of thick and thin fillaments. The disturbance of the contractile system is accompanied by the loss of water soluble protein specific fractions.
