Abstract
Bounds to the Nordtvedt parameter are obtained from the motion of the first twelve Trojan asteroids in the period 1906-1990. From the analys is performed, we derive a value for the inverse of the Saturn mass 349 7.80+/-0.81 and the Nordtvedt parameter -0.56+/-0.48, from a simultane ous solution for all asteroids.
