Posted by: grimdog at Thu Jan 22 14:51:29 2004 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by grimdog ] Freezing certainly does rupture cell membranes. It is why cryopreservation does not work perfectly. Why you can't freeze blood and then use it. My point was that rupturing cells was not the cause of a rat feeling mushy because there are very few cells. It is more a function of pure muscle relaxation. A live animal has active muscles, an animal that has just died still has tension in the muscles then comes rigormortise then that relaxes and it goes all floppy. Nothing to do with freezing but rather with time. | ||
