This paper demonstrates by electron microscopy that interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) is a target tissue of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) in rats. Because of the known importance of IBAT in energy metabolism, it is suggested that brown adipose tissue may be a major target tissue in the toxicity of TCDD.
本文通过电子显微镜证明，肩胛间棕色脂肪组织（IBAT）是大鼠体内2,3,7,8-四氯二苯并对二恶英（TCDD）的靶组织。鉴于IBAT在能量代谢中的已知重要性，有人提出棕色脂肪组织可能是TCDD毒性作用的主要靶组织。
