针刺对高胆固醇血症家兔影响的研究

电针实验性高胆固醇血症家兔胃经的＂足三里＂和脾经的＂三阴交＂，观察血清总胆固醇（ＴＣ）、甘油三酯（ＴＧ）、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（ＨＤＬ－Ｃ）含量及动脉粥样硬化的形成。结果表明，电针足三里和三阴交组家兔血清ＴＣ水平比对照组明显下降（Ｐ＜０．００１），ＨＤＬ－Ｃ比对照组明显增加（Ｐ＜０．００１），ＴＧ和动脉硬化斑块有下降趋势。结果提示足三里和三阴交有调整高胆固醇血症家兔ＴＣ和ＨＤＬ－Ｃ含量的作用。

An Experimental Study of Acupuncture on Rabbits with Hypercholesterolemia

Experimental hypercholesterolemia rabbits were divided into two groups:the acupuncture group and control group.In the acupuncture group Zusanli(ST 36) at the stomach meridian and Sanyinjiao(SP6)at the spleen meridian were punctured.The serous concentrations of total cholestrol(TC),triglyceride(TG) and high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C) as well as the atherogenenesis in both the two groups were taken as the indexes for evaluating the effects of acupuncture.It was observed that the content of TC in the acupuncture group was obviously lower than that in the control(P<0.001),while HDL-C content in the acupuncture group was higher than that in the control group(P<0.001).Besides,the TO content was somewhat lower and arteriosclerosis plaques was less in the acupuncture group than those in the control group.The above results indicate that needling Zusanli and Sanyinjiao points can regulate the metabolism of TC and DHPL-D in rabbits suffering from hepercholesterolemia.
