Ions As Vital Reaction Markers Comparative Study with Histamine and Serotonin

Abstract

We have studied the behaviour of the ions Ca, Mg, Cu, Zn and Fe with atomic absorption spectrophotometry (AAS) and the behaviour of histamine and serotonin by spectrofluorimetry in vital and postmortem wounds of different time of evolution made over pig skin. Our results confirm the usefulness of histamine and serotonin as vitality markers and also confirm the great value of the ions studied with the same purpose because it is an easy, sensitive and high specific method.
