adipocytes in the parametrial fat pad of female BALB/c mice‐a site normally thought to
consist of typical white adipocytes. The brown adipocytes have been identified not only on
the basis of their morphology using light and electron microscopy, but also on the basis of
the content of the mitochondrial 'uncoupling protein'(M r= 32 000) which is characteristic of
the proton conductance pathway of brown adipose tissue.
