针刺对肥胖大鼠杏仁核的良性作用可能是其实现减肥效应的中枢作用机制之一In this experiment the amount of food and water taken in

and monoamine content of amygdala in obesity model of male SD rats obtained by high fat diet were observed before and after acupuncture. The results showed that the contents of tyrosine (Tyr)
dopamin(DA)and noradrenaline(NA)were lower in control group than those of normal
but the contents of serotonin(5 HT)and 5 HT/5 hydroxyindoleacetic acid(5 HIAA) were higher than those of normal.After acupuncture treatment
the weight loss was achieved while the level of Tyr and DA increased
the level of 5 HT and 5 HT/5 HIAA decreased in amygdala of obese rats. It suggests that a good regulative effect of acupuncture on amygdala of obese rat is an important link in the antibesity.
