The authors observed the changes pf symptoms and signs, obesity index, lipid index (TC, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C), atherosclerosis in dex (AL), ratio of waist centimetre to hip centimetre (W. C/H. C). TXB2 and 6-Keto-PGF1 alpha in 34 simple obesity patients complicated with hyperlipidemia before and after acupuncture so as to make clear the influence of acupuncture on pathogenic factors led up to circular diseases. The results showed that the marked weight loss effect was achieved in the cases by acupuncture, while the level of TC, TG, LDL-C, HDL-C, AI, W.C./H.C, TXB2, 6-Keto-PGF1 alpha in the patients were finely regulated. It suggests that the acupuncture treatment not only treated obesity and hyperlipidemia, but also resisted the pathogenic factors led up to circular diseases.
