特定穴位针刺治疗对肥胖模型小鼠血清血管生成因子的影响

目的:探讨特定穴位针刺治疗对高脂饮食肥胖模型小鼠血清血管生成因子的影响。方法:小鼠随机分为空白对照组、针刺对照组、模型对照组和针刺治疗组,每组6只。小鼠15周高脂饮食制备肥胖模型后,采用特定穴位针刺法干预治疗10天,酶联免疫法检测小鼠血清胰岛素、血管内皮细胞生长因子、可溶性血管内皮细胞生长因子受体、瘦素、一氧化氮水平。结果:肥胖模型小鼠血清胰岛素、一氧化氮以及瘦素水平上升,而血清血管内皮细胞生长因子以及可溶性血管内皮细胞生长因子受体水平没有明显变化;特定穴位针刺治疗可以显著降低血清一氧化氮、瘦素水平,并可提高肥胖模型小鼠血清血管内皮细胞生长因子含量,但对血糖水平、可溶性血管内皮细胞生长因子受体水平没有影响。结论:特定穴位针刺疗法具有较好的减肥作用,其作用机制可能与调节血管再生有关。

Influence of Specific Acupoint Acupuncture Therapy to Serum Angiogenesis Factor of Obese Mouse Models

This study was aimed to discuss the influence of specific acupoint acupuncture therapy to the serum angiogenesis factor of high fat diet obese mouse models. Mice were randomly divided into the blank control group, acupuncture control group, model control group, and acupuncture treatment group. There were 6 mice in each group. Obese mouse models were induced after 15-week high fat diet. The specific acupoint acupuncture therapy was used as an intervention treatment method for 10 days. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used in the detection of serum insulin, vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, leptin and the level of nitric oxide in mice. The results showed that the serum insulin, nitric oxide and leptin level in the obese mouse models were increased. However, there were no obvious changes on the vascular endothelial growth factor and soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor level. The specific acupoint acupuncture therapy can obviously reduce the level of serum nitric oxide and leptin, and improve the content of vascular endothelial growth factor in obese mouse models. However,there were no influence on the level of blood glucose and soluble vascular endothelial growth factor receptor.It was concluded that the specific acupoint acupuncture therapy method had preferable antiobesity action. Its mechanism of action may be related to the regulation of angiogenesis.
