“…Another study conducted in 2018 reported that 8-week electroacupuncture treatment in obese patients' bilateral ST25 and GB28 acupoints significantly decreased their blood lipid levels [13]. Furthermore, another study applying 2 courses of daily 30-minute electroacupuncture therapy which were separated with a 2-day rest period showed a decrease in blood lipid levels among patients with simple obesity [33].…”

Background: Blood lipid levels have been reported as novel biomarkers for chronic subjective tinnitus (CST), with their levels being higher in patients with CST. Objectives: This trial aimed to determine the change in lipid profile and tinnitus-related quality of life (TR-QoL) responses to 8-week acupuncture treatment in patients with CST. Methods: Sixty obese patients with CST were randomly assigned to group A (treatment group; n = 30; mean age = 44.10 ± 3.69 years) or group B (sham group; n = 30; mean age = 45.53 ± 3.62 years). Patients in group A (n = 30) received manual stimulation at the TE3,

“…Dalam praktiknya, TCM menangani dislipidemia dengan beberapa metode akupunktur seperti akupunktur manual, akupunktur elektro, akupunktur laser, bekam, pijat, dan moksibusi. Xu et al (2017) meneliti, efek elektrostimulator pada lemak darah pada pasien obesitas. Penelitian menunjukkan adanya penurunan kadar lemak darah pada pasien dengan metode yang berbeda menggunakan moksibusi, Ma et al (2012) menguji efek moksibusi pada pasien hiperlipidemia.…”

“…Hal ini dapat disebabkan oleh pola makan dan aktifitas fisik yang tidak diperhatikan selama proses terapi, sehingga menyebabkan terapi menjadi tidak optimal (Kim et al, 2021). Berbeda dengan penelitian yang dilakukan oleh dan Xu et al, (2017) menunjukkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan kadar lipid darah sebelum dan sesudah perlakuan. Dalam penelitian Cheng et al, (2020) kelompok AM dengan kombinasi EA dan terapi kognitif serta intervensi tambahan pada nutrisi dan aktifitas fisik menunjukkan penurunan yang signifikan dalam kadar kolesterol total, TG dan LDL, dan peningkatan yang signifikan dalam kadar HDL.…”

Background: Dyslipidemia is an abnormal lipid metabolism characterized by an increase in total cholesterol, LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein), triglycerides (TG), and a decrease in HDL (High-Density Lipoprotein). Increased levels of total cholesterol, TG, LDL, and decreased HDL levels can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. According to TCM, dyslipidemia is categorized into “Tan Zheng” (phlegm syndrome), “Shi Zuo” (damp retention), “Xuan Yun” (vertigo), and “Fei Pang” (obesity). Purpose: The purpose of this review is to analyze the literature study on TCM within the treatment of dyslipidemia with different acupuncture methods and points. The primary data search was conducted using online e-resources (Google Scholar, Proquest, and Pubmed). Review: The results of the study should include at least one of the outcomes indicators for total cholesterol, TG, LDL, and HDL. The result there were 20 journals consisting of studies that used several acupuncture methods, manual acupuncture (AM), electroacupuncture (EA), moxa (MOK), auricular acupuncture (AA), Cupping (CUP), and found additional interventions such as nutritional interventions, and exercise; body points often used are Zusanli (ST 36), Fenglong (ST 40), Quchi (LI 11), Daheng (SP15), Zhongwan (CV 12), Qihai (CV 6), Guanyuan (CV 4), Sanyinjiao (SP 6), Shenque (CV 8), Tianshu (ST 25), and therefore for AA are Spleen (CO 13), Stomach (CO 4), Shenmen (TF 4), and hunger point. Twenty journals showed a decrease in total cholesterol, TG, LDL levels, and an increase in HDL levels. Conclusion: In conclusion, all types of acupuncture methods can reduce total cholesterol, TG and LDL levels, and increase HDL levels.

“…This contradiction in results may be related to the acupuncture points selected for the treatment. A research team [33,34] from Hebei Medical University also concluded that there are gender differences in EA treatment on obesity. They performed further studies on body weight, blood lipids, and other obesity-related indicators and found that the effect of low-frequency EA treatment on reducing body mass index and serum content of adiponectin (ADPN) was more evident in male than female, whereas a decrease in the waist circumference, hip circumference, subcutaneous fat content and serum content of leptin was more pronounced in female than in the males.…”

Acupuncture, being a unique method, is a millennia-old tradition in the field of Chinese medicine. However, it is surprising that there are very few scientific publications on acupuncture and its gender-specific effects. This article summarizes the previous work from the perspective of both Western and Eastern medicine, involving manual acupuncture, electro-acupuncture, and modern innovative laser acupuncture. There is scientific evidence that future gender-specific considerations should be included in the assessment of acupuncture therapy success. Thus this topic is interesting and provides leads for future research to the international research community.
