      Not necessarily as normally with obesity you have the same number of fat cells (adipocytes) they just store and fill up with more fat.

      I don’t think we no for sure how obesity would directly effect the nerves within our body. My guess is that it would be different for every organ and the specific nerves associated with this organ.

      I would not think so, they might need to grow more in order to reach lager organs!!!!
