Description
Seals accumulate large amount of fat in the subcutaneous adipose tissue, which undergoes massive changes during their life cycle. This study aims to describe the differences in subcutaneous adipose tissue structure between adult female grey seals and adult female humans in terms of adipocyte morphology and collagen.
The data were collected as part of the PhD project "Characterising fat tissue structure and function in response to hypoxia in grey seals, an animal model of extreme fat deposition and mobilisation, using novel in vivo and in vitro approaches".
This dataset is currently embargoed.
