Fig. 5From: Left ventricular deformation associated with cardiomyocyte Ca2+ transients delay in early stage of low-dose of STZ and high-fat diet induced type 2 diabetic ratsWestern blotting analysis of the expression of key players of calcium transient and AMPK, Sirt1 in LV myocardium of rats. Data are presented as mean ± SD. GAPDH and α-tubulin were performed to ensure the equal loading of protein samples. Compared the control, the expression of PLN-p-S16 in model rats’ LV myocardium was increased whereas the Sirt1, AMPK-p and CaMKII-p-Thr287 were all decreased remarkably. * P < 0.05; # P < 0.01Back to article page
