Cyanide concentrations in blood and tissues of fire victims
2019, Legal MedicineCitation Excerpt :It is well known that CN poisoning is a type of chemical asphyxia caused by the disturbance of cellular respiration and the essential mechanism is the inhibition of CCO activity due to its binding to this enzyme [12–14]. It is also known that MetHb can detoxify CN by binding this poisonous substance immediately in blood (formation of cyanmethemoglobin) and the nitrites are widely used therapeutic agent for CN poisoning as MetHb formers [13,16,17]. Fire gases contain a considerable amount of nitrogen oxides and CN in blood was reported to be bound to produced MetHb in fire victims [8,10,11].
