Long-term adipose tissue loss did not affect biomechanical properties of bone. (a) Ultimate strength (F (max)) and (b) stiffness of the humerus, determined by 3-point bending, and (c) ultimate strength of vertebra L3, determined by compression test. Symbols in the scatter plots represent individual mice and the bars indicate arithmetic mean. dim, dimerizer; veh, vehicle. n = 12 veh and 12 dim mice. (a–c) Student’s t-test.
