Table 2 Correlations between cholesterol esters and myelin markers in white matter. Spearman’s correlation coefficient (r) and p value are shown for associations between myelin markers and total cholesterol ester (CholE) or CholE(22:6) in frontal and parietal white matter. Significant correlations are in bold font
