[The electrical resistance and impedance of mammalian muscles during the first days after slaughtering. II: femoral biceps of swine].

The Authors continuing a program of research on the characterization of physical properties of muscular tissues of Mammalia after slaughtering, have performed a new series of observations on the electrical conductance of femoral biceps of swine. Using two groups of specimen (one cut along the axis of the muscular fibers, the other at right angle of them), the AA. checked different values of resistance and of impedance, particularly during the first hours. On the contrary in the final stage of the research the data are quite similar in both the groups of samples. In the comment has taken into account the hypothesis that, on the basis of changes in the tissue structures, electrochemical processes could explain the results.
