lactic acid and Rigor Mortis

lactic acid has been researched along with Rigor Mortis in 11 studies

Lactic Acid: A normal intermediate in the fermentation (oxidation, metabolism) of sugar. The concentrated form is used internally to prevent gastrointestinal fermentation. (From Stedman, 26th ed)
2-hydroxypropanoic acid : A 2-hydroxy monocarboxylic acid that is propanoic acid in which one of the alpha-hydrogens is replaced by a hydroxy group.

Rigor Mortis: Muscular rigidity which develops in the cadaver usually from 4 to 10 hours after death and lasts 3 or 4 days.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of electrical stimulation (ES) on rigor mortis development, calpastatin activity, and tenderness in anatomically similar avian muscles composed primarily of either red or white muscle fibers."7.70The influence of postmortem electrical stimulation on rigor mortis development, calpastatin activity, and tenderness in broiler and duck pectoralis. ( Alvarado, CZ; Sams, AR, 2000)
"We examined the postmortem changes in the levels of ATP, glycogen and lactic acid in two masticatory muscles and three leg muscles of rats."5.30Does the sequence of onset of rigor mortis depend on the proportion of muscle fibre types and on intra-muscular glycogen content? ( Iwase, H; Kobayashi, M; Matsuda, Y; Nagao, M; Nakajima, M; Niijima, H; Saka, K; Takatori, T, 1999)
"Rigor mortis has been thought to occur simultaneously in dead muscles and hence to start in small muscles sooner than in large muscles."5.29Reconsideration of the sequence of rigor mortis through postmortem changes in adenosine nucleotides and lactic acid in different rat muscles. ( Iwadate, K; Kobayashi, M; Nakajima, M; Takatori, T, 1996)

( Alvarado, CZ; Sams, AR, 2000)
"If glycogen is a limiting factor, as found with head-only stunning, pH drops too rapidly and affects water-holding capacity and color."1.31Effects of feed deprivation and electrical, gas, and captive needle stunning on early postmortem muscle metabolism and subsequent meat quality.
