- Title
Analytical data supporting the "theoretical" postmortem redistribution factor (F<sub>t</sub>): a new model to evaluate postmortem redistribution.
- Authors
McIntyre, Iain M.
- Abstract
The concepts of postmortem redistribution (PMR, F) factor, and "theoretical" PMR (Ft) - based upon a drug's characteristic L/P ratio-have been defined to express the direct relationship between postmortem peripheral blood and the corresponding antemortem whole-blood concentration. This paper applies recent data describing liver/peripheral blood (L/P) ratios for many commonly detected drugs to assess these models, and provide a ranking of drugs'propensity for (and degree of) PMR.
