The results showed that postmortem AC redistribution did exist, and the diffusion along a concentration gradient was the major influencing factor on it. Change of temperature and incomplete distribution in life also influenced it.Besides those mentioned above, there were other influencing factors. These may be related to postmortem blood movement and toxin released from cells occurring as part of the processes of autolysis and putrefaction.展开更多

Postmortem blood atropine concentrations tend to be regionally dependent. We reported in this work the analytical findings of atropine in the peripheral and heart blood from a case of suspected death. Atropine was?determined in both peripheral and heart blood by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. Towards the reference ranges, the concentration of atropine in the peripheral blood is therapeutic, and in the heart blood is lethal. The high concentration of atropine in the heart blood reflects postmortem redistribution rather than cardiotoxicity. The findings have great implications for forensic toxicology.展开更多
