The contents of serum lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α were measured by ELISA, and the protein and mRNA expressions of HMGB1 and MyD88 in the small intestine were detected by Western blot and real-time quantitative PCR, respectively. 16S rRNA sequencing was performed to determine the relative abundance and diversity of the bacterial flora in the fresh feces of rats.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Compared with the normal group, the body weight, serum LPS and TNF-α contents, small intestinal HMGB1 and MyD88 protein and mRNA expression levels of rats in the model group were significantly increased (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;0.01), while the relative abundance of &lt;i&gt;Lactobacillus&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Muri&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Bifidobacterium&lt;/i&gt; was decreased (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt;&lt;0.01), &lt;i&gt;Collinsella&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Prevotella&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Ruminococcus&lt;/i&gt; was increased (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;0.01). Compared with model group, the body weight, serum LPS and TNF-α contents, protein and mRNA expression levels of HMGB1 and MyD88 in both EA and sham EA groups were decreased (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;0.01, &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;0.05), while the relative abundance of &lt;i&gt;Lactobacillus&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Muri&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Bifidobacterium&lt;/i&gt; was increased (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;0.01) and &lt;i&gt;Collinsella&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Prevotella&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Ruminococcus&lt;/i&gt; decreased (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;0.01). Comparison between EA group and sham EA group showed that, the contents of LPS and TNF-α in serum of rats in sham EA group were increased (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;0.01, &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;0.05), the relative abundance of &lt;i&gt;Lactobacillus&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Muri&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Bifidobacterium&lt;/i&gt; was lower (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;0.05, &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;0.01), and &lt;i&gt;Collinsella&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;Prevotella&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;Ruminococcus&lt;/i&gt; was higher (&lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;0.01).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusions: &lt;/strong&gt;EA can reduce the body weight of obese rats, which may be related to the regulation of the structure of intestinal flor","PeriodicalId":34919,"journal":{"name":"针刺研究","volume":"49 9","pages":"949-956"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142476480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
