Abstract

A method is described for the separation and determination of individual bile acids in serum and in intestinal contents, employing thin-layer chromatography and fluorimetry. The mean recovery from intestinal juice was 94% and from serum 82%.

Normal values for the individual bile acids of serum and examples of clinical applications of the method are given.
