Objective: This study is effects of Jungwan(CV12) and Bisu(BL20) acupuncture on serum glucose and lipid composition were investigated in high fat diet induced diabetic rat. Results: Plasma glucose, free fatty acids and β-lipoprotein concentration showed a high reduction in acupuncture groups compared to those of control group and in the acupuncture groups, Jungwan(CV12) acupuncture groups showed a low values than Bisu(BL20) acupuncture group. Plasma triglyceride and LDL-cholesterol concentration showed a tendency to decrease in the acupuncture groups, however these values showed no significantly different among acupuncture groups. Total cholesterol concentration showed a high reduction in acupuncture groups and in acupuncture groups, Jungwan(CV12) acupuncture groups showed a lower values than Bisu(BL20) acupuncture group. HDL-cholesterol concentration showed a higher values in all acupuncture groups than control group, however these values no significantly different in all acupuncture groups.
