Key result
The more dense rat CNS axolemma-enriched fraction is 51.5% lipid, containing 21.3% cholesterol and 11.94 μg ganglioside NeuNAc per mg dry weight, distinct from the myelin fraction.

Rat axolemma lipid profiles warrant no clinical action; extends membrane distinctions from myelin but leaves open human relevance.
DeVries et al. (1980) studied this question. Axolemma-enriched membrane fractions vs. Myelin fraction was evaluated on Lipid composition. The more dense rat CNS axolemma-enriched fraction is 51.5% lipid, containing 21.3% cholesterol and 11.94 μg ganglioside NeuNAc per mg dry weight, distinct from the myelin fraction.
