Abstract
Several components of opossum bile were analyzed. Cholesterol content is comparable to that of other laboratory animals. Chenodeoxycholic acid was identified as another major bile acid beside cholic acid. It was found that opossum bile contains taurine-conjugated bile acids. No free and glycine conjugates were found.Keywords
