Fatty-tissue changes in rats with acclimatization to altitude.
Adipose tissue in the adult white rat changes in both quantity and histologic characteristics during a 5-week period of acclimatization to a simulated altitude of 4350 meters at 26 degrees C. These findings are descriptive and do not at present permit conclusions as to the mechanisms involved.
