Abstract
OUR histochemical observations on the brown and yellow adipose tissue of the bat, Hipposideros speoris, showed that the activity of lipase is more or less the same in the two types of adipose tissue (unpublished). Fawcett1, using histochemical methods, reported a much higher concentration of lipase in the brown than the yellow adipose tissue of the rat. Here we report the results of a quantitative study of lipase activity in the brown and yellow adipose tissue of the bat, Hipposideros speoris.
