Abstract

SUBCUTANEOUS fat at the site of injection is stained specifically in five to ten minutes when 0·5 ml. of a 1 per cent aqueous solution of triphenyl tetrazolium chloride is injected into mice. Neutral fat in the deeper layers is stained a bright orange-red, while the secretions of the sebaceous gland cells are stained a brick-red colour.
