[Chemico-analytical studies on the water content of the human tissues. 2. Significance of the variation of water content (author's transl)].

The authors have calculated the amounts of solid matters from the values of water contents determined on 14 sorts of tissues of 41 cadavers and have found that the variation of amounts of solid matters among the same sort of tissue are very big. Accordingly it may be rational to express the values of concentration based on dry weight as to the substances mainly bound to solid matters in tissues and based on fresh weight as to those mainly dissolved in water in tissues.
