- Abstract
The article examines adipose tissue in three newborn and two young harbor seals. The authors studied the structural features of harbor seal mitochondrial uncoupling protein 1 and its expression in different adipose deposits in these seals. Dissection of newborn seals revealed that they had adipose tissues in the neck, interscapular, perirenal, axilla and subcutaneous regions.
