TY - JOUR PY - 1976// TI - Comparative postmortem chemistries of vitreous humor before and after embalming JO - Journal of forensic sciences A1 - Coe, J. I. SP - 583 EP - 586 VL - 21 IS - 3 N2 - Examination for common biochemical substances in the vitreous humor of embalmed bodies indicates that individuals with significant nitrogen retention or diabetics with marked elevation in vitreous glucose will be recognized by standard laboratory procedures on postembalming specimens. The work of Scott et al 3. on vitreous alcohol in the embalmed body has been substantiated with good general agreement found between specimens obtained before and after the embalming process.
