Abstract
The adipose organ anatomy of animals maintained in warm conditions (28–29 °C) is similar to that observed in animals living in standard conditions (19–22 °C in our laboratory) except for the color intensity of the areas of the organ constituted of BAT, which appear paler in the former animals.
