Some Considerations about Glucose Determination in Humor Vitreous to Estimate Post Mortem Interval

Abstract:

The vitreous humor (HV) is a gelatinous mass similar to the egg white and occupies the vitreous cavity or posterior cavity of the ocular globe whose function is to give volume to the eye, hold the retina and maintain its transparency. The objective of this review focuses on the importance of vitreous humor in forensic biochemistry and on the importance in glucose determination in vitreous humor to estimate post mortem interval in the forensic field which is indispensable in the investigation of suspicious and violent deaths.
