Tensile mechanical test of rat AAA tissues. Sham group: the aortic tensile resistance was the strongest, and the average maximum tensile force was 970 ± 26 mN; AAA group: the aortic tensile resistance was the lowest, and the average maximum tensile force was 111 ± 25 mN; the mean aortic maximum tensile forces of the AAA + LV-Itgβ1 and AAA + FGF18 groups were 254 ± 21 mN and 266 ± 23 mN, respectively; the aortic integrity to withstand stretch of the AAA + FGF18 + LV-Itgβ1 group was significantly higher than that of the AAA + LV-Itgβ1 and the AAA + FGF18 groups (p = 0.041, 0.032), and the average maximum stretching force was 493 ± 29 mN
