Locations of adipose tissue depots in a mouse (A) and an adult human (B). A: Subcutaneous (inguinal and intramuscular), visceral (mesenteric, omental, perigonadal and retroperitoneal) and brown (interscapular and perirenal) adipose tissue depots are shown in a mouse model; B: Subcutaneous (abdominal, femoral and gluteal), visceral (epicardial, gonadal, mesenteric, omental and retroperitoneal) and brown (paravertebral, supraclavicular and suprarenal) adipose tissue depots are shown in a human model. WAT: White adipose tissue; BAT: Brown adipose tissue.
