Abstract
In experimentally inflicted bruises of cattle, the greatest swelling and fluid volume occurred within 2 days. The maximum biochemical changes in bruised tissue were on or about the 4th or 5th day These included a drop in non-protein nitrogen to 1/4 of the control level and a 2-fold increase in the "easily split iron" concentration. Moreover, the 10-fold elevation in red pigment was due to extra-stromal hemoglobin, and not myo-globin. Bilirubin formation in bruised tissue was demonstrated conclusively. Although healing was evident grossly in 7 days, the biochemical values did not return completely to the control levels until the 9th day.Keywords
