Vasopressin IHC from the supraoptic nucleus
Pseudorabies virus (green) and herpes simplex virus (red) labeled neurons in the hypothalamus representing sympathetic (efferent) and sensory neurons (afferent) connected to fat multisynaptically
Monosynaptically labeled neurons connected to brown adipose tissue (blue) in dorsal root ganglia (level T3)
Sympathetic chain labeled with level of ganglia
Agouti-related peptide mRNA fluorescent in situ hybridization in the arcuate hypothalamus
Cultured primary adipocytes stained using Oil Red O
