Immunohistochemical study on myoglobin in electrocution]

We have studied the changes of myoglobin (MB) IN heart muscle cells from eight corpses died of electrocution. The changes were compared with that of the heart muscle cells died of fall. The results indicated that the immunohistochemical changes of Mb were as follows: (1) blocky separate from heart muscle cell; (2) drift away into the interval of the heart muscle. The Mb changes were small parts of an area separate from heart muscle cells in control. The authors emphasized these changes were the characteristics of oxygen deficiency of the heart by electrocution.
