Objectives : To learn the effects of CV12, CV9 and LI4, LI11 electroacupuncture stimulation on high fat diet induced-obese mouse.
Methods : The control group was provided with high fat diet without electroacupuncture stimulation, while the experimental group CV12, CV9 and LI4, LI11 with three frequencies(10Hz, 100Hz, 200Hz) for 5 times a week during five week periods with the high fat diet. We investigated the body weight, weight gain, and food intake.
Results : After the electroacupuncture stimulation, a significant loss of increasement in weight was found in the experimental group compared with the high fat diet group. But there was no significant difference made by the change of acupoint combinations and frequencies. After the electroacupuncture stimulation, no significant change was found in the food intakes, but the weight gain a week was decreased compared with high fat diet group.
Conclusions : These results suggest that electroacupuncture stimulation on CV12, CV9 and LI4, LI11 might be effective in treatments of obesity to high fat diet.
