Abstract:
Objective: To approach the mechanisms of prevention and treatment of diabetic microangiopathy(DMAP) by observing the effect of acupoint catgut embedding therapy(ACET) and complex prescription in TCM(CPTCM) on blood vessel endothelial function and insulin sensitivity(ISI).Methods: To establish model rats by abdominal cavity injecting alloxan.After being treated respectively with ACET,CPTCM for 16 weeks,plasma endothelins(ET),serum nitric oxide(NO),urinary albumin excretion(UAE),ISI were detected.Results: Compared with normal control group,the content of ET and UAE in model group increased,but ISI and NO decreased remarkably.After being treated,ET and UAE decreased remarkably,NO and ISI increased notably(P
