Abstract
Summary
Peri-renal adipose tissue may contain varying amounts of water, neutral fats and solids. The absolute amount of these constituents is a function of weight of tissue. Cold exposure in addition to depleting adipose tissue of neutral fat also decreases water content of fat free solids. Water and solids vary directly with each other and both vary inversely with amount of neutral fat present. It appears that water present in adipose tissue is located in tissue solids and is not associated directly with neutral fats; and that when neutral fats are added to adipose tissue they are added, with limits of this experiment, independently of water.
