Fatty acid composition in the tumor-bearing host liver was analyzed and the following results were obtained: 1) In normal liver, C
16:0 was rich in cholesterol ester. The percentage of C
18:0 was higher in phospholipid than that in cholesterol ester. The percentage of C
18:0 in triglyceride+NEFA fraction was smaller than that in cholesterol ester. C
18:1 was abundant in triglyceride+NEFA and the percentage of C
18:2 was also high in triglyceride+NEFA. As compared with the normal liver, the fatty acid composition in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma-bearing host liver at 6 days after inoculation was almost at the same level as in the normal liver. On the other hand, the fatty acid composition at 12 and 18 days after inoculation was considerably different from that of normal liver. 2) As regards the fluctuation of main fatty acids in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma-bearing mouse liver during tumor growth, the percentage of C
18:0 increased in every fraction except for cholesterol ester in mitochondrial fraction. C
18:2 showed a decrease except in two fractions, that is, cholesterol ester in the supernatant and phospholipid in the microsomal fraction. C
20:4 of phospholipid in both mitochondrial and microsomal fractions increased gradually.
