For the purpose of understanding the antiobesity effect of acupuncture and it's influence on water and salt metabolism in the patients suffering from simple obesity, we have observed the changes of symptoms and signs, obesity indices, blood sodium, blood potassium, mOsm of plasma and urinary aldosterone before and after acupuncture treatment in 75 patients with simple obesity (12 cases with edema, 33 cases without edema). The results showed that the total effective rate of antiobesity treatment for one month was 89.3%. Before acupuncture the concentrations of blood sodium and aldosterone of the patients with edema were significantly higher than those of normal persons or the patients without edema, but the concentration of blood potassium and mOsm of plasma of the patients with edema were significantly lower than those of normal persons or the patients without edema. After acupuncture treatment the concentrations of blood sodium and aldosterone decreased markedly and the concentration of blood potassium and mOsm of plasma increased remarkably in the patients with edema. It indicated that acupuncture treatment not only had a good antiobesity effect, but also improved the water and salt metabolism of the patients with obesity by the regulation of nervous system and body fluid.
为了解针刺治疗单纯性肥胖症的减肥效果及其对水盐代谢的影响，我们观察了75例单纯性肥胖症患者（其中12例有水肿，33例无水肿）针刺治疗前后的症状体征、肥胖指标、血钠、血钾、血浆渗透压及尿醛固酮的变化。结果显示，针刺治疗1个月的减肥总有效率为89.3%。针刺前，有水肿的患者血钠和醛固酮浓度显著高于正常人或无水肿的患者，但其血钾浓度和血浆渗透压显著低于正常人或无水肿的患者。针刺治疗后，有水肿的患者血钠和醛固酮浓度明显降低，血钾浓度和血浆渗透压显著升高。这表明针刺治疗不仅具有良好的减肥效果，还通过调节神经系统和体液改善了肥胖患者的水盐代谢。
