1. The content of total fatty acid in the blood of scorbutic guinea pigs is always larger than that of the normal. When the body weight of scorbutic animals begins to diminish, it shows a notable increase and finally at the advanced stage of scurvy, again it decrases, yet it remains still larger than the value at the beginning of normal period.
2. The phospholipin content of the blood in scorbutic period runs almost parallel to the content of total fatty acid in the period. Even at the end of scurvy, it remnains still above the initial value in normal period.
3. Cholesterol content of the blood in scorbutic period does not differ from that in the normal, with exception of the end period of scurvy in which there is, in most cases, seen a tolerable decrease.
4. The rate of cholesterol to total fatty acid in normal and in scorbutic period is 0.614 and 0.520 on an average respectively. The diminution of the latter is approximately 15%.
5. The rate of phospholipin to cholesterol in normal and scorbutic is 0.626 and 0.677 on an average respectively. The increased rate of the latter is 8.2%.
6. The rate of cholesterol to phospholipin is 1.598 in normal while that in scorbutoic period is 1.479, i.e., in the latter there is a decrease of 7.4%.
7. The rate of total fatty acid to phospholipin is 2.604 in normal and 2.913 in the scorbutic period, i.e., 11.9% in the latter is inereased.
