Distribution of fat pads in the mouse. The fat is composed of two subcutaneous pads and several visceral pads. The main white adipose tissue (WAT) pads are the inguinal and epididymal, with the latter being the most frequent dissected pad. Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is distributed throughout the fat pads with the main BAT depot in the interscapular region (18).
