Abstract
A preparation of Group A lipoid of human liver was hydrolyzed and fractioned. Separated were glucosamine (as hydrochloride), galactose (as methylphenylhydrazone), choline (as chioroplatinate), palmitic acid, an unsaturated hydroxyacid, a probable keto-alcohol and three substances containing N and P. Moreover qualitative tests suggested the presence of formic acid, tyrosine, xanthine and hypoxanthine or guanine among the cleavage products. Sphingosine, glycerol, glycerophosphoric acid and acetic acid were absent.
A short discussion was made regarding the results.
