Abstract: BackgroundAcupuncture has been reported as a weight loss treatment for obese patients. The use of pharmacopuncture focusing on behavioral analyses has not yet been studied with the objective of treating obesity. Thus, this study aimed to assess the biochemical and behavioral effects of using pharmacopuncture techniques in obese Wistar rats.MethodsThe treatments consisted in applying pharmacopuncture at the Zusanli (ST 36) and Tianshu (ST 25) points.ResultsWhen treated with pharmacopuncture, groups HDP36 and HD… Show more

“…Since acupuncture on ST36 was reported to have rather good therapeutic effects for obesity in practice , the blood lipid related Raman bands were selected to analyze the acupuncture effects on the level of lipids or fats in blood. According to the published data, lipid or fat related Raman peaks generally located at 1076, 1128, 1223, 1305, 1341, 1375, 1449 and 1656 cm −1 ( Figure and Table ) .…”
