| Abstract
|
| [Objective] To explore the effective mechanism of acupuncture on insulin resistance in rats with type 2 diabetes. [Methods] Rats with type 2 diabetes were selected and randomly divided into two groups: treatment group (10 rats)with acupuncture therapy,using Zhongwan,Quchi,Hegu,Zusanli etc. as the acupoints; control group (10 rats) without any treatment. [Results] Blood sugar of rats with type 2 diabetes was decreased after acupuncture apparently,and insulin sensitivity index was increased markedly. Intaking rate of glucose in peripheral tissue was enhanced apparently. There was significantly difference between two groups (P<0.01,P< 0.05).[Conclusion] Acupuncture can ameliorate or reverse the insulin resistance of rats with type 2 diabetes. |
