Western blot analysis for SERCA2 in WTBOO, TGBOO, and WT rats. Upper panel each representative band from three WT, three WTBOO and three TGBOO. Lower panel mean (+SD) fold change in the expression of SERCA2 protein in smooth muscles was significantly higher in four WTBOO (gray column) and four TGBOO (solid column) compared to that in four WT (open column). The densitometry measurements were applied to the whole band. SERCA2 protein levels of WTBOO and TGBOO are normalized to that of WT (=1.0) and expressed as fold change. **P < 0.001
