[Determination of adenylate kinase (AK) enzymatic types in cadaveric and stored blood]
Abstract:
The author examined 243 samples of corpse blood with various duration and causes of death. In all cases she found the types of AK even in corpses with advanced decomposition and date of death since 1 month, 2 months, but in one corpse-since 3,5 months. In Blood, stored at room temperature, she found with certainty, the types of AK up to 6 weeks, but in some cases even over 10 weeks, which showed stability of this enzyme.
