Protein expression of Na+ channel and dihydropyridine receptor (DHPR) is unchanged but protein expression of ryanodine receptor (RyR) and sarco-endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ ATPase 1 (SERCA1) is markedly lower in ICU rat muscle than in sham-operated (SHAM) rat muscle. a Typical protein bands from SHAM (S) or ICU (I) rats for Na+ channels, DHPR, RyR1and SERCA1. b Mean data for intensity of bands expressed relative to total intensity of each corresponding lane. Values are mean ± SEM, n = 3 in all cases
