[Contribution to postmortem diagnostics of poisoning due to insulin (author's transl)].
In a case of lethal poisoning due to insulin a significant low level of lactic acid and a corresponding high pH value in the brain tissue were detected. Methods used to determine lactic acid and pH in the brain tissue are recommeded for postmortem diagnostics of insulin poisoning.
