Myelin had a much higher lipid content (78-81% of the dry weight) than white matter (49-66%) or gray matter (36-40%). Myelin contained much higher molar percentages of cerebroside and cerebroside sulfate, slightly higher molar percentages of cholesterol, and lower molar percentages of ethanolamine glycerophosphatides and choline glycerophosphatides than gray matter. The molar percentages of serine glycerophosphatides and sphingomyelin were about the same in each tissue.

>serine glycerophosphatides from gray matter 0.3-3.8%.

>ethanolamine glycerophosphatides from gray matter 21-27%

>serine glycerophosphatides from myelin 21-36%;

>ethanolamine glycerophosphatides from myelin 40-50%
