From: Comparative histology of muscle in free ranging cetaceans: shallow versus deep diving species
The occupied area by the adipocytes intermixed within the perimysium (IAT) was higher in the species from the deep-diving group.
The morphometric analysis showed that the mean of the percentage area of the IAT in the shallow-diving group of animals was 1.95% versus 26.01% in the deep-diving group. Significant differences were found across groups (P < 0.05, the Mann-Whitney U test).
