Many changes in expression associated with muscle injury would therefore overlap with post mortem processes in conversion of muscle to meat, and vice versa.
Analysis of trait dependent expression showed a global picture on the biological networks active ante mortem that affect post mortem processes important for final establishment of meat properties.
A high expression of CREM being positively correlated with pH at 24 hours, may indicate a slowdown of apoptosis related post mortem processes paralleling anaerobic metabolic processes that led to a decrease of pH.
Our finding of the relevance of mitochondrial metabolic pathways, including oxidative phosphorylation, and muscle structural protein composition to post mortem processes affecting meat quality is in line with our previous results obtained in other populations [ 1, 6, 7].
The execution/degradation phase, which is essentially a post-mortem process, is common to distinct types of apoptosis, meaning that the morphological and biochemical alterations that accompany late-stage apoptosis are independent of the initiating stimulus.
He stressed that he was not directly involved in the post-mortem process.
In addition, its vets have examined eight cats that had been mutilated and are in the process of conducting post-mortems on a further 12.
The state pathologist is to begin the process of a post-mortem examination and formal identification.
Any process of attributing cause of death, ranging from pathologists' post-mortems through hospital cause of death records, physician certificates, and verbal autopsies, involves a combination of expertise and evidence (4).
This unique design allows investigating the process of atherosclerotic plaque progression independent of the traditionally identified vulnerable plaque characteristics as defined by post-mortem series.
