Table 1 Ratios of CRT/CSQ and CRT/SERCA 2b in esophageal body (EB) and lower esophageal sphincter (LES) and LES pressure of achalasia patients and healthy controls (mean ± SE)

	EB		LES
	Control (n = 6)	Achalasia(n = 9)	Control(n = 6)	Achalasia(n = 9)
Pressure (mm Hg)	ND	ND	31.2 ± 2.9	49.2 ± 3.8^a
CRT/CSQ	0.63 ± 0.08	0.61 ± 0.04	0.88 ± 0.10	0.78 ± 0.08
CRT/SERCA 2b	1.07 ± 0.20	0.77 ± 0.10	1.47 ± 0.09	1.07 ± 0.08^a

CRT: Calreticulin; CSQ: Calsequestrin; SERCA: Sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca²⁺ ATPase; ND: Not done.
