Abstract:
To reveal the differences in the properties of visceral adipose tissue in healthy unstimulated mice, we performed transcriptome analysis using RNA sequencing. Among visceral adipose tissues, perinephric adipose tissue was found to exclusively express beige adipocyte markers while expressing white adipocyte markers. These results imply potential specific roles of perinephric adipose tissue in both physiological and pathological conditions.
