Figure 2 Representative Northern Blots

Representative Northern blots from 2 patients, 1 from each treatment group. Differences in band intensities between periods of active and sham treatment are evident. The GAPDH band intensities show consistency of ribonucleic acid loading of the various lanes. ANP = A-type natriuretic peptides; BL = baseline; BNP = B-type natriuretic peptides; CCM = cardiac contractility modulation; GAPDH = glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase; MHC = myosin heavy chain; PLB = phospholamban; p21 RAS = p21 Ras stretch receptor gene; p38MAPK = p38 mitogen activated protein kinase stretch receptor gene; RyR2 = ryanodine receptor; SERCA-2a = sarcoplasmic reticulum calcium adenosine triphosphatase.
