Looking for Post-Mortem Metabolomic Standardization: Waiting for Godot—The Importance of Post-Mortem Interval in Forensic Metabolomics
Alberto Chighine, Emanuela Locci, Matteo Nioi, Ernesto d’Aloja
Abstract
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.
