SERCA1a (A) and SERCA2a (B) content were determined for middle aged control (CTL) and BSO-treated rat costal diaphragm using quantitative Western blotting analysis. Summary of data are shown in C (= 12 per condition). Ca2+-dependent ATPase activity was measured in adult and middle aged diaphragm samples taken before and after (D) fatiguing stimulation. Note that Ca2+-ATPase data for adult BSO is not included here due to limited tissue availability. ATPase data were analyzed using a two-way mixed design ANOVA (between groups: adult control [= 7] vs. middle aged control [= 13] vs. middle aged BSO [= 13]; repeated measures: basal vs. fatigued). Values are mean ± SEM. *Fatigued value < Basal value of the same group (< 0.05). #Value > Basal Adult CTL (< 0.05).
