Objectives: To investigate the influence of catgut implantation at acupoints on leptin resistance (LR) and insulin resistance (IR) in the simple obesity rat.
Methods: Rats were made obese with high-fat diets, after which surgical catgut was implanted at Zusanli (ST 36) and Neiting (ST 44) acupoints once a week for 4 weeks (implantation group). Rats from the implantation group were compared with normal rats and unoperated obese rats (control group).
