Methods The serum concentration of leptin in 39 patients with CHF （14 in cardiac function class Ⅱ , 21 in class Ⅲ, 4 in classⅣ , NYHA） and in 46 patients with cardiac function class Ⅰ （NYHA） were assessed by radioimmunoassay. Results The serum concentration of leptin were 9.018±4.519 μg/l in CHF group （cardiac function class Ⅱ 11.492±5.649 μg/l, class Ⅲ 7.763±3.321 μg/l, class Ⅳ 6.100±2.657 μg/l）; 11.674± 6.911 μg/l in class Ⅰ group. The serum concentrations of leptin were significantly lower in CHF group, as compared with class Ⅰ group （P〈 0.05）. Moreover, the decrease of serum leptin concentration was significantly correlated with the decreased serum concentrations of total cholesterol, triglyceride, body mass index and left ventricular ejection fraction in CHF group, respectively （P 〈 0.05）. Conclusions The significance of the decrease in serum leptin in CHF patients needs further study.展开更多

Methods Eighty patients with simple obesity, including 37 males and 43 females, were included in this study. In both groups（male group and female group）, Yīnlíngquán（阴陵泉 SP 9）, Sānyīnjiāo（三阴交 SP 6）, Zúsānlǐ（足三里 ST 36）, Fēnglóng（丰隆 ST 40）, Qūchí（曲池 LI 11）, Tiānshū（天枢 ST 25）, Zhōngwǎn（中脘 CV 12）, Shuǐfēn（水分 CV 9）, Qìhǎi（气海 CV 6）, and Guānyuán（关元 CV 4）. were selected, and low-frequency electroacupuncture treatment was applied. Needles were retained for 30 min. The treatment was conducted once a day, and 10 times were considered as one course of treatment. Two courses were needed. The changes of weight, BMI（body mass index）, F%（fat percentage） and serum leptin and NPY contents of patients in the two groups before and after treatment were observed and analyzed comparatively. Results After treatment, in male group, the weight lost（9.24±2.55） kg, BMI reduced by 4.19±2.30, F% reduced by 3.98±2.13, serum leptin level reduced by（0.66±0.23） ng/m L, and serum NPY level reduced by（18.56±2.89） pg/m L; in female group, the weight lost（6.77±2.31） kg, BMI reduced by 2.65±0.93, F% reduced by 4.98±2.30, serum leptin level reduced by（3.49±1.09） ng/m L, and serum NPY level reduced by（11.21±1.97） pg/m L. The results reduced significantly when compared with the level before treatment（P〈0.05, P〈0.01）. The loss of weight, BMI and serum NPY content in male group was more obvious than that in female group（all P〈0.01）, and the loss of F% and serum leptin content in female group was more obvious than that in male group（both P〈0.01）. Conclusion Low-frequency electroacupuncture can significantly regulate the weight, BMI, F% and serum leptin and NPY contents of male and female patients with simple obesity, and there are gender differences. In terms of reducing weight, BMI and serum NPY content, the efficacy of low-frequency electroacupuncture in males is superior to that in females, while in terms of reducing F% and serum leptin content, the efficacy in females is superior to that in males.展开更多

The present study was designed to evaluate the correlation between serum metformin levels and glycemic control, insulin resistance and leptin levels in females newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Sixty type 2 diabetic females were recruited for the study and were allocated into 3 groups;each receiving metformin 1000, 1500 and 2000 mg/day respectively for 3 months. Blood samples withdrawn from each patient at zero time and after 3 months is used to evaluate serum levels of HbA1c, glucose, leptin and insulin, in addition, the measurement of serum level of metformin in blood after 3 months by HPLC. The results demonstrated that all the treated groups with different doses of metformin showed significant improve in all parameters;the use of increased metformin doses was only correlated with plasma leptin levels in the highest dose. In conclusion, serum metformin levels are not good predictors for correlating improvement in clinical and biochemical parameters with increasing the dose in newly diagnosed non-insulin resistant females with type 2 diabetes.展开更多

Methods: A total of 80 SD rats were randomized into normal control, model, acupuncture and medication groups, with 20 cases in each group. Hypothalamic obesity model was established by subcutaneous injection of 15% sodium glutamate (0.2 mL/10 g body weight), once daily and continuously for 5 days. “Zusanli” (足三里 ST 36), “Sanyinjiao”(三阴交 SP 6), “Guanyuan”(关元 CV 4) and “Zhongwan”(中脘 CV 12) were punctured and stimulated electrically (100 Hz, dense-sparse waves, and a suitable strength inducing local muscular tremor) for 15 min, once daily. In medication group, rats were fed with Sibutramine 4 mg/kg, once daily. After 4 weeks’ treatment, Lee’s index was detected, and serum leptin and insulin contents were determined by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Results: Compared with normal control group, Lee’s index, serum leptin and insulin contents of model group increased significantly (P<0.01). Comparison between acupuncture and model groups, Lee’s index and serum leptin of acupuncture group decreased significantly (P<0.01), and serum insulin level also lowered. In comparison with model group, Lee’s index, serum leptin and insulin levels of medication group also lowered. Comparison between acupuncture and medication groups showed that Lee’s index and serum leptin level of acupuncture group were significantly lower than those of the later group (P<0.01), displaying that the therapeutic effect of acupuncture is better than that of Sibutramine in lowering Lee’s index and serum leptin. No significant differences were found between acupuncture and medication groups in body weight and length and serum insulin(P>0.05). Conclusion: Acupuncture can effectively reduce Lee’s index, serum leptin and insulin contents in fasting obese rats, which may contribute to its effect in anti-obesity.展开更多
