Effect Of Electronic Acupuncture Abdominal Points On Abdominal Fat Mass,Leptin And Free Fatty Acids In Obesity Rats

Objective:To explore the effect of electronic acupuncture zhongwan, tianshu(double),guanyuan, daheng(double) on rat body weight, abdominal fat mass, and the change ofLeptin (LEP) and free fatty acid (FFA) by obesity rats and observe impact of obesitytreatment by diet. In order to promote acupuncture method of electronic acupunctureabdominal points merely, basis theoretical reliably datas was provided.Methods: The experiment of first, using high nutritional diet to establish obesityanimal models, and feeded the50male SD rats adaptabily with1week, and then10ratswas selected randomly as normal group, the orther40rats were feeding with highnutritional food. After10weeks,30obesity rats of high nutritious diet induced successfullywere randomly divided into model group, treatment of first group, treatment of secondgroup. The treatment of first group choose zhongwan, tianshu(double), guanyuan,daheng(double), the treatment of second group choose housanli(double),sanyinjiao(double), zhongwan, guanyuan, and setting frequency of100HZ and moderatestrength and time of15minutes every day, continuous treatment of20days. Comparedwith the groups of rats’ change in rat body weight, abdominal fat mass and detectedserum LEP and FFA content with ELISA.The experiment of second,the groups of rats werefeeding with normal diet, the other was same as the experiment of first.Results: The experiment of first,Compared with model group, the rat body weight,aodominal fat mass, serum LEP and FFA were declined significant difference (P<0.01,P<0.05) in treatment of first group and treatment of second group; compared treatment offirst group with treatment of second group, the rat body weight, aodominal fat mass, serumLEP and FFA were declined no statistical difference (P>0.05); The experiment of second,compared with model group, the rat body weight, aodominal fat mass, serum LEP and FFAwere declined significant difference (P<0.01, P<0.05) in treatment of first group andtreatment of second group;compared treatment of first group with treatment of secondgroup,the rat body weight and aodominal fat mass were declined no statistical difference(P>0.05), but in down lower of serum LEP and FFA content were declined statisticaldifference(P<0.05),treatment of first group was superior to treatment of second groupConclusion: It’s an ideal effect of reducing obesity rat body weight, abdominal fatmass, serum LEP and FFA content by using electro-acupuncture abdominal acupuncturepoints of obesity rats with tianshu, zhongwan, guanyuan, daheng merely. Control dietduring the treatment, the treatment of first group was superior to treatment of second groupby reducing the content of LEP and FFA. Weather adjusted to change the diet structure ofobesity rats or not, it was no significant effect of reducing obesity rats weight, abdominalfat mass, serum LEP and FFA content in20days of electro-acupuncture treatment.
