Effect of Acupoint Catgut Embedding on Intestinal Flora in Rats with Ovariectomized Osteoporosis

Objectives : By observing the effect of acupoint catgut embedding on intestinal flora ovariectomized osteoporotic rats, correlation between regulation and prevention treatment osteoporosis was discussed preliminarily. Methods Result: Compared with Group A B, bone mineral density (BMD) femur tibia in C decreased significantly (p<0.05), indicating successful modeling. C, BMD D increased (p<0.05). content serum estrogens, calcium, PTHrP were (p<0.05 or p<0.01). Content estrogen, higher than those abundance mollicutes, actinobacteria, acidobacteria, chloroflexi fusobacteria group increased. The probiotics such as lactobacillales, (lactobacillaceae, lactobacillus), bacillales, streptococcus that SCFAs acetic acid, butyric iso-valeric valeric acid caproic statistical significance Conclusions Acupoint can effectively improve BMD, increase SCFAs. Furthermore, also reduce pathogenic bacteria. changes correlated estrogen which may be one mechanisms osteoporosis.
