Extended Data Fig. 3

a, 3D view of intraganglionically fluorescent protein (FP) labelled DRG (T13 and L1) fibres in close apposition to adipocytes. b, Representative image of intraganglionically FP labelled DRG (T13 and L1) fibres in flank skin. c, Quantification of relative nerve density of intraganglionically FP labelled DRG (T13 and L1) fibres in flank skin (466 views from 39 images from 3 biological replicates) and iWAT (468 views from 31 images from 2 biological replicates). All values are mean ± s.e.m. d–e, Representative images of intraganglionically FP labelled DRG (T13 and L1) fibres in adipose parenchyma (d) and travelling along the vessel (e). Scale bar: 30 μm.
