Table 3 Mean volume and number density of mitochondria and lipid droplets in ABALCs and white fat adipocytes
From: The brown adipocyte differentiation pathway in birds: An evolutionary road not taken
Volume of a single organelle (μm3) | Number density (per μm2 cell) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Cell type | Mitochondrion | Lipid droplet | Mitochondria | Lipid droplet |
ABALCs | 0.72 ± 0.14 | 1.88 ± 0.4* | 0.076 ± 0.012* | 0.11 ± 0.02* |
Abdominal fat | 0.52 ± 0.16 | 788 ± 289* | 0.017 ± 0.003* | 0.002 ± 0.0003* |
