Objective: To observe the effect of manual acupuncture intervention on the reproductive endocrine and p-Akt protein expression in polycystic ovary syndrome with insulin resistance (PCOS-IR) rats, so as to reveal its mechanism in relieving PCOS-IR.
Methods: Female Wistar rats were randomly divided into control, model, medication (Metformin) and acupuncture groups (＝8 in each). The PCOS-IR model was established by subcutaneous injection of Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA, 6 mg/100 g), once daily for 20 days.
