Scientific Proof to How your Body react to Acupuncture - Fatty Liver

Frequent regular sessions of Acupuncture will treat Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common chronic liver diseases in the world that represents an important public health challenge nowadays. NAFLD is a condition in which there is accumulation of excess fat in the liver of people who drink little or no alcohol. Although genetic factors play an important role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD, detrimental lifestyle, prolonged sedentary periods or limited physical activity have major metabolic implications. NASH can lead to liver cirrhosis, liver failure, and liver cancer.

Detrimental lifestyle, prolonged sedentary periods or limited physical activity have major metabolic implications.

At present, there is no effective treatment available in the therapy of NAFLD. Thus, it is of significance to seek new therapies for the treatment of NAFLD. Acupuncture has been used to treat NAFLD through regulating lipid metabolism, participating lipid metabolism-related signaling pathways, improving insulin resistance, and increasing the antioxidant levels of liver tissue.

Here are the scientific evidence that shows how Acupuncture can treat fatty liver:

Conclusion: Electroacupuncture combined with lifestyle control can effectively treat obese nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and present better therapeutic effect on hepatic fat status, glycolipid metabolism, insulin resistance, waist circumferene and waist-to-hip ratio.

Conclusion: Electroacupuncture (Feng long, Zu sanli, Tai chong, San yinjiao) increases serum ADP and HDL, lowers LEP, LDL, FFA, TC and TG, and thereby reduces lipogenesis and liver fat deposition. Hence reducing the occurrence of non alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Conclusion: Abnormal lipid metabolism, for example an increased fat intake, has been thought to be an initial factor leading to NAFLD. The small intestine is the main site of dietary lipid absorption. Acupuncture at Zu san li, Guan yuan and Yong quan suppressed lipid absorption by downregulating the expression of apolipoproteins in the small intestine.
