Abstract
Objective: To observe the influence of suspended moxibustion on biochemical markers of patients with hyperlipidemia. Methods: Suspended moxibustion at Shenque (CV 8) and bilateral Zusanli (ST 36) was used for patients with hyperlipidemia, and the changes of fasting blood glucose (FBG), triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were detected both before and after treatments. Results: FBG, TC and LDL-C decreased after treatment (P<0.01); TG also decreased (P<0.05); HDL-C showed no significant difference (P>0.05). Conclusion: In treating patients with hyperlipidemia, suspended moxibustion can not only improve lipid metabolism, but also regulate glucose metabolism.
