Histologic analysis of orbital fat from different species reveals that brown fat is present in rodent species, but not the other mammals examined. (A) H&E stained section of CD1 mouse orbital fat demonstrates a mixture of cells with small lipid vacuoles interspersed with cells with large, single lipid vacuoles. (B) H&E stained section of hamster orbital fat reveals the presence of adipose cells containing multiple small lipid vacuoles. (C) H&E stained section of cat orbital adipose tissue reveals cells with large lipid vacuoles. (D) H&E stained section of dog orbital fat reveals cells with large lipid vacuoles. (E) H&E stained section of lamb orbital fat reveals cells with large lipid vacuoles. (F) H&E stained section of goat orbital adipose tissue reveals cells with large lipid vacuoles. Scale bars = 50 μm.
