Figure 1

The epididymal fat in the male mouse. To demonstrate abdominal organs, the anterior abdominal wall was removed and the left epididymal fat (1) was deflected to the left. The epididymal fat was divided into a caudal, medial, and rostral zone relative to the location of spermatic blood vessels (2). The left testis (3), the urinary bladder (4), a small bowel loop (5), and attached mesenteric fat (6) are also shown.
