Frog liver dolichols: separation and quantitative determination related to seasonality.
1. The liver of female frogs shows a significantly higher dolichol content in May (134 micrograms/g) than in November (90 micrograms/g). The male frog liver (134 micrograms/g May; 119 micrograms/g November) does not show any significant change. 2. The rat liver does not show any significant change in dolichol content from May to November (30 micrograms/g). 3. The dolichyl-phosphate level was the same in male and female frog livers and in the rat liver. 4. Data is given of the distribution of dolichols according to the number of their isoprene residues.
