By means of our electrophoretic method applied to analyse the liver protein, as reported in Part I of this series, we studied the liver protein fractions in eight cases of chronic gastritis and 50 cases each of gastric or duodenal ulcer and of gastric cancer. The results obtained were as follows:
1. The liver protein in two cases of chronic gastritis and six of gastric ulcer, but only in mild grade as diagnosed clinically, was found to contain only a very small quantity of albumin (5.8% on the average), the remainder being all globulins, β-globulin being particularly abundant (47.1% on the average).
2. Of the severe cases of gastric diseases, the cases showing the liver protein fraction values within the range of the above mild cases were generally of good general conditions, but those with lowered β-globulin, raised γ globulin and/or albumin value were usually cases with complications or advanced disease.
3. The liver protein fraction values were more frequently within the values of mild cases in gastritis-ulcer cases than in gastric cancer cases, and the β-globulin value was lowered, the γ-globulin and/or the albumin value raised more frequently among the gastric cancer cases.
