PG - 193-8 AB - The activities of heme oxygenase and biliverdin reductase were determined in subcutaneous (s.c.) hematomas of rats after different periods of vital time. The postmortem stabilities of the heme-degrading enzymes were also studied by keeping the rats with vital hematomas for 1-5 days at temperatures of +4 degrees C and +22 degrees C. A tenfold increase of heme oxygenase activity over the starting level was observed in 2-9-day-old vital hematomas, when the specimens were taken immediately after death. Biliverdin reductase showed only negligible changes. Postmortally, heme oxygenase activity started to decrease in hematomas immediately at +22 degrees C and from day 2 on at +4 degrees C.
