Interscapular brown adipose tissue

Electron microscopic studies by Roz-man et al. (1986) indicated that interscapular brown adipose tissue was a target tissue in TCDD-induced toxicity in rats. The medical diagnoses of people exposed to Agent Orange in Vietnam also showed primarily...

In mitoehondria such as those of the parenchymal cells of the liver, cristae are relatively scarce and project only part way into the mitochondrial matrix fPalade, 1956 Fawcett, 1966). By contrast, the mitochondria of interscapular brown adipose tissue of certain mammals have many cristae which span completely the distance from one side of the mitochondrion to the other (Napolitano and Fawcett, 1958 Barnard, 1969 Barnard and Lindberg, 1969). The mitochondria of the indirect flight muscles of insects have tightly compacted cristae (Brosemer et al., 19 ). In the blowfly, for example, as many as 34 cristae are packed into 1 /tm of mitochondrial length (Gregory et al., 1967).
