Abstract
It is visually evident that even in animals maintained at room temperature or even near thermoneutrality (see Plate 8.1), the brown part of the adipose organ (corresponding to BAT at histology level) is not restricted to the interscapular area of the adipose organ, but is present also in other areas of the subcutaneous fat, mainly in the anterior depot, such as in the subscapular and axillary areas and in several visceral areas such as the periaortic mediastinal area, interrenal area, and pelvic areas.
