In order to solve the problem whether it is possible to use “middle-mass molecules” for the purposes of forensic medicine, their content has been measured in a lung tissue extract of persons who died at an early stage of the antemortem period. It has been found out that “middle-mass molecules” are detected in an extract of the lung tissue of persons who died immediately after an injury, within a short period of time (from several minutes to some tens of minutes) and in 1 to 2 hours after being injured. Moreover, their quantitative content in those who died 1 to 2 hours after the injury is statistically different from other groups of injured persons (р<0,05).
