Myelin was isolated from the brains of mice at ages of 14, 24, 41, 44, 47, and 182 days and the contents of lipid phosphorus, cholesterol, lipid galactose, alkenyl groups, ethanolamine phosphoglycerides, choline phosphoglycerides, sphingomyelin, and serine and inositol phosphoglycerides were determined. Significant differences in the composition relative to total lipid phosphorus were found in the myelin. At 14 days of age, the myelin had lower relative amounts of cholesterol, galactolipids, alkenyl groups, and ethanolamine phosphoglycerides and a higher relative amount of choline phosphoglycerides.
