[Biochemical study of the tissue lipids in a human corpse in a state of adipocere].

Abstract

Scanty and contradictory published data made the authors carry out examinations of human tissues in a state of adipocere using visual, stereomicroscopic, biochemical methods, and numerous physical tests. Adipocere developing under natural conditions and extracted from human corpses and experimentally obtained adipocere were found to be quite the same. Biochemical studies of adipocere to detect phospholipids and the percent of ratio of total lipids and their classes were carried out for the first time.
