Chiropterans Insectivores Brown adipose tissue Quirópteros Insectívoros Tejido adiposo marrón Brown adipose tissue fulfills multiple vital functions for bats, in addition to playing an important epidemiological role in the localization and maintenance of certain pathogens. However, there is no data regarding the presence of this tissue in specimens from our region, so the objective of this study was to identify brown adipose tissue in insectivorous bats from the city of Corrientes. We worked with 11 specimens captured between April and July, successfully identifying macroscopically, in all studied bats, three well-defined regions of brown fat localization: inter-scapular, axillary, and gonadal, which were histologically confirmed. These results represent the first identification data of brown adipose tissue in bats from the city of Corrientes, contributing to the knowledge of bats in our region and establishing in future works, together with other characteristics, the potential role of brown fat and its relationship with pathogens in different bat species. El tejido adiposo pardo cumple múltiples funciones vitales para los murciélagos, además de tener un rol epidemiológico importante en la localización y mantenimiento de ciertos agentes patógenos. Sin embargo, no existen datos sobre la presencia de este tejido en especímenes de nuestra región, por lo que el objetivo del presente trabajo fue identificar tejido adiposo pardo en murciélagos insectívoros de la ciudad de Corrientes. Se trabajó con 11 ejemplares, capturados en el periodo de abril a julio, lográndose identificar macroscópicamente, en todos los murciélagos estudiados, tres regiones bien definidas de localización de grasa parda: interescapular, axilar y gonadal, las cuales fueron confirmadas histológicamente. Estos resultados representan los primeros datos de identificación de tejido adiposo pardo en murciélagos de la ciudad de Corrientes, permitiendo sumar conocimiento de los quirópteros de nuestra región y establecer en futuros trabajos, en conjunto con otras características, el posible rol de la grasa parda y su relación con agentes patógenos en diferentes especies de murciélagos.
