(a) Gross appearance of littermate male WT and Arv1 KO mice at 6 months of age showing lack of subcutaneous (SC WAT) and perigonadal (PG WAT) white adipose tissue. (b) Image of brown adipose tissue (BAT), liver, axillo–thoracic subcutaneous white adipose tissue (axillo–thoracic SC WAT), inguinal subcutaneous white adipose tissue (Ing SC WAT) and perigonadal white adipose tissue (PG WAT). (c) Histological appearance of hematoxylin and eosin stained subcutaneous inguinal subcutaneous WAT (Ing SC WAT), perigonadal WAT (PG WAT), perirenal WAT (PR WAT), brown fat (BAT) and liver at × 400 magnification.
