Apparatus for white adipose tissue (WAT) tensile strength measurement (A) and force/displacement curve example from murine retroperitoneal (RP) WAT (B). A DMT560 tissue puller with custom clamps used for measuring peak force of fresh murine RP WAT was used to measure slope, peak force, and tensile strength (see methods). Following peak force, the tissue begins to rupture, thus resulting in variable reductions in force/displacement, as illustrated.
