Vitreous Humour Biochemical Parameters As Indicators for Corroborating Acute Sniper (Dichlorvos) Induced Death
Author(s): Wankasi Mieebi Martins, Agoro Eni-yimini Solomon and Ikimi Charles German
Sniper, whose active ingredient is dichlorvos, is one of the leading causes of pesticide poisoning and death. Sniper induced death is suggested to be increasing in Nigeria without a scientific basis for discriminating ante-mortem from postmortem intoxication. The study is aimed at using vitreous biochemical parameters such as proteins, lipids, electrolytes and renal function markers in corroborating sniper induced death. A total of twenty one rabbits were used for the study. The animals were divided into three groups of seven each. The control death (CD), post-mortem sniper contamination death (PSCD) and truly sniper induced death (TSID) groups. The TSID group undertook ante-mortem ingestion of 10 ml of sniper, whereas, PSCD post-mortem ingestion. The CD was sacrificed mechanically with... view more»
