A method for the quantitative determination of the total bile acid content of human intestinal aspirates is presented. This method was applied to duodenal samples from ten normal subjects and distal jejunal samples from seven of these subjects. Enzymatic and radioactive monitoring of the procedures utilized yielded recoveries of 89 to 100 percent of bile acids.
