Distribution and Development of Brown Adipocytes in the Murine and Human Adipose Organ

Distribution and Development of Brown Adipocytes in the Murine and Human Adipose Organ

Murine white and brown adipocytes are found together in dissectible visceral and subcutaneous fat depots supplied by specific vessels and nerves, forming a multi-depot organ with plastic properties. Many of the anatomo-physiological features of murine fat depots apply to humans.
