Objectives : This study was performed to investigate the effects of LR3 and SP6 acupuncture on renal damage in streptozotocin(STZ)-induced diabetic mice.
Methods : ICR male mice were stabilized for a week and divided into four groups: a normal mice group(N), no-acupuncture diabetic mice group(Control), LR3 acupuncture diabetic mice group(LR3), and SP6 acupuncture diabetic mice group(SP6). Diabetes was experimentally induced by intraperitoneal injection of STZ(150 mg/kg) in citrate buffer(pH 4.5). For two weeks, LR3 and SP6 acupunctures were administered bilaterally at each point once a day. After two weeks, the animals’ weight was measured and they underwent a laparotomy. Serum glucose and blood urea nitrogen(BUN) were measured from the blood taken from the heart. We measured glucose, reactive oxygen species(ROS), peroxynitrite(ONOO-) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS) in the kidney and compared expression levels of superoxide dismutases(SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GPx), nuclear factor-kappa B(NF-kB), cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2), inducible nitric oxide synthase(iNOS) and Interleukin-1 beta(IL-1β).
Results : BUN significantly decreased in LR3, SP6 compared to the control group. LR3 showed significantly decreased glucose compared to the control group. LR3, SP6 significantly decreased in ROS and ONOO- compared to the control group. LR3 significantly decreased in TBARS compared to the control group. SP6 significantly increased in expressions of SOD-1, catalase, and GPx compared to the control group. LR3, SP6 significantly decreased in COX-2 compared to the control group. SP6 significantly decreased in IL-1β compared to the control group.
Conclusions : This study suggests that LR3 acupuncture may be effective in controlling glucose and lipid peroxidation and that SP6 acupuncture may have anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory effects on renal damage in STZ-induced diabetic mice.
