Effects of LR3(太衝), GB39(懸鍾) and SP4(公孫) acupuncture on lipid composition were investigated in rat fed high fat diet.
The results obtained from this study are as follows : 1. In the all treatment groups, the body weight values after feeding the basal diet for 4 weeks were significantly decreased compared to the initial body weight. However the decrement of body weight showed a high in acupuncture groups compared to those of control group. In the acupuncture groups, the decrement of body weight showed a high in the LR3 acupuncture groups. 2. The contents of plasma β-lipoprotein and free fatty acids showed a tendency to decrease in the acupuncture groups compared to those of control group and the values of LR3 acupuncture groups showed a low in the acupuncture groups. 3. The contents of plasma triglyceride showed a low values in the complex treatment group of LR3, GB39 and SP4. However among the other treatment groups, this values showed no significantly different. The contents of liver triglyceride showed a tendency to decrease in all acupuncture groups except to the complex treatment group of GB39 and SP4 acupuncture and in the acupuncture groups, LR3 acupuncture groups were lower than GB39 and SP4 acupuncture groups.4. The contents of plasma glucose showed a tendency to decrease by the acupuncture treatment and LR3 acupuncture groups showed a lower values than other acupuncture groups. 5. In the values of plasma glutamic oxaloacetate transferase activity, LR3 acupuncture group and the complex treatment group of LR3, GB39 and SP4 acupuncture were a lower values than other treatment groups and among the other treatment groups showed no significantly different. The values of plasma glutamic pyruvate transferase activity showed no significantly different among all the treatment groups. 6. Contents of plasma and liver total cholesterol showed a tendency to decrease in LR3 acupuncture groups. However those of the other groups showed no significantly different.
7. In the contents of plasma LDL-cholesterol, LR3 acupuncture groups were a lower values than other groups, however among the other groups showed no significantly different. The contents of plasma HDL-cholesterol showed a tendency to increase in the acupuncture groups, however these values showed no significantly different.
