During the following 5 to 10 minutes we verify the death signs (respiratory failure, absence of heart beat and opaque cornea) and subsequently we dissected soleus and extensor carpi radialis longus muscles. The samples were directly fixed by freezing using 2-methyl butane (isopentane) cooled in liquid nitrogen, stored at -70[degrees]C and cut on cryostat Leica Jung Frigocut 2800N at -20[degrees]C and 16 ums.
