In order to study the effect of aqua-acupuncture with Gastrodia Rhizoma(R.H.) extract solution by acupuncture point, G.R. aqua-acupuncture was carried on everyday for 10 days respectively on corresponding bilateral loci of Choksamni(ST_(36)), Kyo ̄ksu(BL_(17)) and non-acupuncture points at root of tail, after inducing hyperlipidemia by olive oil administration and thereafter the contents of serum HDL-cholesterol, total cholesterol, triglyceride, alkaline phosphatase and phospholipid in the serum in hyperlipidemic rats were measured by acupuncture point.
The following results have been obtained.
1. HDL-cholesterol was decreased with statistical significance by G.R. aqua-acupuncture to Choksamni(ST_(36)) and Kyo ̄ksu(BL_(17)) as compared with the control group.
2. Total cholesterol was decreased with statistical significance by G.R. aqua-acupuncture to Kyo ̄ksu(BL_(17)) as compared with the control group.
3. Triglyceride was decreased with statistical significance by G.R. aqua-acupuncture to Choksamni(St_(36)) and Kyo ̄ksu(BL_(17)) as compared with the control group.
4. Alkaline phosphatase was increased statistical significance by G.R. aqua-acupuncture to Choksamni(St_(36)) as compared with the control group.
5. Phosphatase was decreased statistical significance by G.R. aqua-acupuncture to Choksamni(St_(36)) as compared with the control group.
