Table 2

The variation of proteins related to calcium regulation.

Proteins	Roles played by the proteins	ACO versus HF	ACO + EA versus HF	ACO + EA versus ACO
SERCA2a	A key protein that regulates Ca^2+ in cardiomyocytes	—	↑	↑
PLB	Inhibiting the affinity of SERCA2a to Ca^2+	↓	↓	↓
NCX1	Exchanging Ca^2+ inside and outside of myocardial cell membrane	—	↓	↓

↑, upregulated; ↓, downregulated; —, unchanged.
