Acupuncture improved lipid metabolism by regulating intestinal absorption in mice

Figure 2 After needling treatment, the acupoints group mouse small intestine changed in structure, while the levels of lipid transport proteins in the acupoints group mouse small intestine tissue were significantly decreased. A: The appearance of small intestine (left) and the length of the small intestine (right); B: Hematoxylin and eosin staining of a small intestine section (left) and the length of the small intestinal villus (right upper) and the depth of the small intestinal gland (right bottom); C: Western blotting of lipid transport proteins in the small intestine. The results are presented as the mean ± SD (n = 10). ^aP < 0.01, ^bP < 0.005. NG: Non-acupoints group; AG: Acupoints group.
