Short summary
Adipose tissue (AT) is a multi-depot organ in mammals and is formed in specific locations to meet the requirements of organism development. There are two main regional AT depots: subcutaneous and visceral. AT from various depots differs in composition and function. Based on the function, AT depots can be further classified as white and brown AT. Revealing the composition feature of AT depots will provide valuable information for further research on the fat deposition patterns in buffalo.
