Abstract
A study was carried out on adrenergic innervation of the white adipose tissue by means of theFalck andOwman fluorescence method. The presence of abundant perivascular plexuses, which could be followed up to the level of the vascular capillaries, was demonstrated. The nerve fibers run like “puttees” around the capillaries. The adrenergic nerve fibers establish close contacts with the surface of the fat cells. The fat cells in the immediate vicinity of the vessels are provided for by the perivascular nerve fibers. In the adipose lobules adrenergic networks showing large meshes were observed. The adrenergic nerve fibers show also close contacts with the mast cells. Mast cells may be found both in the meshes of the perivascular plexuses and along the fibers supplying the fat cells.
