Myeloid-secreted BDNF maintains innervation of inguinal adipose in male mice

BackgroundInnervation of adipose tissue is essential for the proper function of this critical metabolic organ. Numerous surgical and chemical denervation studies have demonstrated how maintenance of brain-adipose communication through both sympathetic efferent and sensory afferent nerves helps regulate adipocyte size, cell number, lipolysis, and browning of white adipose tissue....
