Western blot analysis of SR Ca2+ handling proteins in atria (Panel A) and in the ventricles (Panel C) of 3 weeks aortic banded and sham-operated control mice. Panel B shows the quantitative analysis of SR Ca2+ handling protein levels in atria of 3 weeks aortic banded and sham-operated control mice. The expression level of sarcomeric α-actin was used as control. Asterisks (*) indicate statistically significant differences from sham-operated controls. S-sham-operated; AB- aortic banded. n=4; P<0.05.
