Looking for Post-Mortem Metabolomic Standardization: Waiting for Godot.The Importance of Post-Mortem Interval in Forensic Metabolomics

A growing body of evidence suggests that the post-mortem interval exerts a strong effect on the metabolome, independently of the biological matrix or the cause of death. A sound and shared approach in standardization is mandatory.

Automated summary

The post-mortem interval has a significant impact on the metabolome, regardless of biological matrix or cause of death. It is essential to have a sound and shared approach to standardization.
