Abstract
Mackerel liver was analysed for fat-and cholic acid-contents. Cholic acid is commonly found in bile which is indespensable in digestion, absorption, and transportation of fat. Determination of cholic acid was made by the colorimetry standing on the INOUE's reaction. Although no correlation was found between the contents of fat and cholic acid, there was a tendency that the cholic acid level is higher in smaller liver than in bigger one: the former (<6.5g.) contained cholic acid above 100mg.% and the latter (>6.5g.) below 100mg.%. Total content of cholic acid in one liver is seemed to be lie in the limited range between ca. 2.5 and 8.2mg., in most cases 2.5-5.0mg. Then it is presumable that the cholic acid content in liver is controlled in constant level by some physiological function.
