Neurochemical phenotype of sympathetic nervous system outflow from brain to white fat
H Shi, TJ Bartness - Brain research bulletin, 2001 - Elsevier
The sympathetic innervation of white adipose tissue (WAT) appears to be a dominant
mechanism triggering lipolysis. The purpose of this study was to determine the
neurochemical phenotype of neurons comprising the sympathetic outflow from brain to WAT.
This was accomplished by injecting Siberian hamster WAT with a viral retrograde
transneuronal tract tracer, the pseudorabies virus (PRV), in combination with
immunocytochemical characterization of several neurotransmitters or their synthetic …
