Abstract

Time passed since death is the period that has elapsed between death and the actual performance of postmortem examination. There are lots of research work undertaken to estimate time passed since death based on biochemical changes of postmortem blood. After death the defence parameters which protect the human cell to maintain the redox balance alters slowly. Carbonyl compound, reactive intermediates of glucose degradation pathway generated on auto oxidation of glucose are capable of inducing cellular damage. Changes of redox marker carbonyl compound in postmortem blood are proportional to the time passed since death. It provides a theoretical basis on which time of death can be calculated.
