目的:观察针刺对肥胖大鼠体重、血糖、胰岛素含量、脂肪组织中肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)水平的影响。方法:随机挑选10只普通饲料喂养为正常组。另一组80只高脂致肥饲料喂养,将造模成功的肥胖大鼠30只随机分为肥胖模型组和针刺组,每组各15只。采用实时定量PCR技术测定肿瘤坏死因子-α(TNF-α)基因表达水平,酶联免疫测定法测定血清中胰岛素(insu lin)的含量,生化比色法测定血清葡萄糖含量。结果:针刺治疗组体重、血糖、血清胰岛素、脂肪组织中TNF-α水平均较模型组有不同程度的降低,胰岛素敏感指数有所提高。结论:针刺可以改善肥胖大鼠胰岛素抵抗和糖代谢紊乱状态。
Objective:To observe the effect of acupuncture on body weight,blood glucose,serum insulin contents and the expression of TNF-αin fat tissue in obese rats.Methods:Randomly selected 10 rats fed with ordinary whole priced forage were used as normal control group;Another group of 80 rats fed with high fat forage.Successfully established experimental model rats were randomly divided into two groups:one group without any treatment as model control group(control group,n=15),and the other treated with acupuncture(acupuncture group,n=15).Serum insulin contents were measured by Elisa,and TNF-α mRNA was detected with SYBR Green quantitative real-time PCR.The changes of body weight,contents of blood glucose and serum insulin as well as expression of TNF-αgene in islets in the obese rats were observed before and after acupuncture.Results:The body weight,blood glucose,serum insulin contents and the expression of TNF-αin fat tissue in obese rats were lower and ISI was higher in acupuncture group than those in model control group.Conclusion:Acupuncture can improve insulin resistance and the glucose metabolism of the obese rats.
