The levels of 12 guanidino compounds were determined in the serum and brain of mouse, rat, rabbit, and man using cation‐exchange column chromatography with the fluorescence ninhydrin detection method. A comparative study of these compounds was made in the four groups studied, for serum and brain. In rabbit and man the different guanidino compounds were also determined in various brain regions. This study provides basic analytical data that could facilitate the interpretation of further biochemical and neurochemical studies dealing with guanidino compounds that are identified as being toxins in hyperargininemia and uremia.
