Abstract
The blood plasma of 10 healthy bullfrogs and of 15 healthy, adult dogs was analysed for lipids by oxidative micromethods. The lipid content of the blood plasma of bullfrogs was found to be low and of the order of that found previously in guinea-pigs with, in addition, the peculiar feature that no neutral fat was present. The lipid content of the blood plasma of the dog, on the other hand, was found to be high, higher even than is found in man. The lipid composition of blood plasma in bullfrogs and dogs was then compared with corresponding values previously determined by the author, using the same technique, in guinea-pigs, albino rats, rabbits, cows, cats, cockerels, and man. Data are also presented upon the concentration of lipids in the red blood cells of bullfrogs and these are compared with corresponding values previously found in rabbits, man, and guinea-pigs.
