An ultramicroscopic study on rigor mortis

Forensic Science, 1976
Gastrocnemius muscles taken from decapitated mice at various intervals after death and from mice killed by 2,4-dinitrophenol or mono-iodoacetic acid injection to induce rigor mortis soon after death, were observed by electron microscopy. The prominent appearance of many fine cross striations in the myofibrils (occurring about every 400 A) was ...

Rigor mortis in beef

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, 1954
AbstractA study has been made of the onset of rigor mortis in the longissimus dorsi muscle of the ox, thus extending similar observations previously made on rabbit muscle. The changes in pH and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) content accompanying the physical manifestations of rigor are described.

Estimation of the breaking of rigor mortis by myotonometry

Forensic Science International, 1996
Myotonometry was used to detect breaking of rigor mortis. The myotonometer is a new instrument which measures the decaying oscillations of a muscle after a brief mechanical impact. The method gives two numerical parameters for rigor mortis, namely the period and decrement of the oscillations, both of which depend on the time period elapsed after death.

Experimental evaluation of rigor mortis. VI. Effect of various causes of death on the evolution of rigor mortis

Forensic Science International, 1983
The evolution of rigor mortis was studied in cases of nitrogen asphyxia, drowning and strangulation, as well as in fatal intoxications due to strychnine, carbon monoxide and curariform drugs, using a modified method of measurement. Our experiments demonstrated that: (1) Strychnine intoxication hastens the onset and passing of rigor mortis.

Rigor, rigor mortis, and conspiratorial views of depression research.

Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, 1995
The authors reassert the need for methodological changes in depression research appearing in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology and other personality and social psychology journals. In this rejoinder the authors update their earlier literature review (H. Tennen, J. Hall, & G. Affleck, 1995) and respond to the commentaries by P. C. Kendall

Experimental evaluation of rigor mortis V. Effect of various temperatures on the evolution of rigor mortis

Forensic Science International, 1981
Objective measurements were carried out to study the evolution of rigor mortis on rats at various temperatures. Our experiments showed that: (1) at 6 degrees C rigor mortis reaches full development between 48 and 60 hours post mortem, and is resolved at 168 hours post mortem; (2) at 24 degrees C rigor mortis reaches full development at 5 hours post ...

Observations on rigor mortis in whale muscle

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, 1952
Abstract The onset of rigor mortis in baleen whale muscle has been investigated. A temporary, though sometimes prolonged, arrest of lactic acid formation may precede the physical change. The latter is accompanied by a considerable decrease in fluid retention and a relatively rapid transition to a state of wetness.

Rigor Mortis

2015
Rigor mortis is certainly the most fascinating cadaveric sign. Because it gives the deceased person a petrified appearance, rigor mortis is noticed by everybody who encounters a corpse. The progressive nature of the resolution of rigor mortis may be caused by a similar phenomenon.
