Meat proteins comprise a water-soluble fraction (containing the muscle pigment myoglobin and enzymes), a salt-soluble fraction composed mainly of contractile proteins, and an insoluble fraction comprising connective tissue proteins and membrane proteins. As reviewed by Dierckx and Huyghebaert [107], HPLC analysis of meat proteins has been successfully applied to evaluate heat-induced changes in the protein prohle, to detect adulterations (addition of protein of lower value, the replacement of meat from high-value species with meat from lower-value species, etc.), and for specie identification in noncooked products (also for fish sample). 

Only the nitrosylheme derivative of the muscle pigments was extracted in 80% acetone.

The clinical syndrome of protein deficiency includes the following findings loss of weight, loss of subcutaneous fat, wasting of muscles, pigment changes in the skin, hypotension, bradycardia, weakness, and edema. The basal metabolic rate falls, anemia is common, and a decrease in serum proteins, especially of the albumin fraction, may be noted. Hemoconcentration and a decrease in blood volume are frequently observed.

CX is very different from other blister agents in that it attacks whatever tissue it contacts, such as skin, muscle, and nerves. Its impact on nerves is intense unremitting pain. When CX comes in contact with skin, it leaves a blanched area (bleached appearance) within 30 seconds where it has been absorbed into the skin. A red rash-like ring immediately forms around the affected area. Within a day, the blanched area and rash will turn dark as broken-down skin pigment pools near the surface. A scab will form over the area in about a week. This scab will fall off approximately 3 weeks later. Immediate death from systemic shock or trauma is possible. Healing may take as long as 1 year in severe cases. 

Adverse reactions may include abdominal pain, abnormal involuntary movements, abnormal liver function tests, aching joints or muscles, acute urinary retention, adenopathy or lymphadenopathy, aggravation of coronary artery disease, aggravation of disseminated lupus erythematosus, agranulocytosis, albuminuria, alopecia, alterations in pigmentation, anorexia, aplastic anemia, arrhythmias, asthma, AV P.729... 

The principal determinants of lOP are the rate of aqueous fluid production by the ciliary epithelium and the rate of fluid drainage (outflow) in the canal of Schlemm. Aqueous fluid production involves passive, near-isosmolar fluid secretion driven by active salt transport across the ciliary epithelium. Ion and solute transporters have been identified on pigmented and non-pigmented layers of the ciliary epithelium that probably facilitate active solute secretion. Aqueous fluid drainage is believed to involve pressure-driven bulk fluid flow in the canal of Schlemm, as well as fluid movement through the sclera by seepage across the ciliary muscle and supraciliary space. 

Although nittate was the traditional meat curing salt, Haldane (1901) demonstrated cured meat pigment development by addition of nitrite to hemoglobin. Hoagland (1908) concluded that bacterial or muscle tissue reduction of nitrate...
