Cells Shrinkage and Phosphatidylserine Externalization in Post Mortem Muscle by Fluorescence Microscopy

Meat tenderness: advances in biology, biochemistry, molecular mechanisms and new technologies

“…Apoptosis in the postmortem cell is generally acknowledged to occur, based on the occurrence of typical characteristics including cell shrinkage, phosphatidylserine externalization and mitochondria alteration (Becila et al, 2017;Ouali et al, 2013). One of the representative pathways to induce apoptosis is the release of cytochrome C from mitochondria, promoted by the calcium-activated Bax in turn activating the caspases (Wang et al, 2018).…”
