[Calorimetric study of collagen hydration].
Water in human Achilles tendon was studied by differential scanning calorimetry. It was shown that in the postmortem period there takes place a redistribution of free and bound water. The quantity of free freezing water in the tissue increases, whereas that of bound unfreezing water diminishes. The data obtained can be used for organ and tissue conservation and in forensic studies.
