针灸减肥及其对水盐代谢的影响

为了解针灸的减肥作用及其对水盐代谢的影响，本研究观察了75例单纯性肥胖患者（其中伴发水肿者42例，不伴发水肿者33例）针灸前后的主要症状、体征、肥胖指标、血钠、血钾、血渗透量和醛困酮的变化。结果表明，针灸治疗单纯性肥胖患者取得满意的减肥效应，同时对患者的血钠、血钾、血渗透量和醛固酮具有良性调整作用，同时还改善了患者的水盐代谢。

The Antiobesity Effect of Acupuncture and It's Influence on Water and Salt Metabolism

For the purpose of understanding the antiobesity effect of acupuncture and it's influence on water and salt metabolisrn in the patients sufferring from simple obesity, we have obeserved the changes of symptoms and signs, obesity indices, blood sodium, blood potassium, mOsm of plasma and urinary aldosterone before and after acupuncture treatment in 75 patients with simple obesitv (42 cases with edema. 33 cases without edema). The results showed that the total effective rate of antiobesity treatrnent for one rnonth was 89. 3%. Before acupuncture the concentrations of blood sodium and aldosterone of the patients with edema were significantly higher than those of normal persons or the patients without edema, but the concentration of hlood potassium and rnOsm of plasma of the patients with edema were significantly lower than those of normal persons or the patients without ederna. After acupuncture treatment the concentrations of blood sodium and aldosterone decreased markedly and the concentration of blood potassiurn and mOsm of plasma increased rernarkably in the patients with edema. It indicated that acupuncture treatrnent not only had a good antiobesity effect,but also improved the water and salt metabolisrn of the patients with obesity by the regulation of nervous system and body fluid.
