Objective:To observe the effects of electroacupuncture(EA)on type 2 innate lymphoid cell(ILC2)function in white adipose tissue(WAT)of high-fat diet(HFD)-induced obese rats to reveal the mechanism underlying weight ***:Male Winstar rats(n=15)were randomly divided into control,HFD,and HFD+EA groups,with five rats in each *** obesity model was established by feeding rats with a ***(2 Hz,1 mA)was applied to"Zhongwan(CV12)"bilateral"Tianshu(ST25)""Zusanli(ST36)"and"Sanyinjiao(SP6)"for15 min,7 days a week,for a total of 5 *** EA treatment,the HFD group was fed a HFD,whereas rats in the control group were maintained on a normal *** was no intervention in either the control or the HFD *** weight was measured ***-field adipocyte morphology,adipocyte volume,and the number of abdominal WAT were observed under a microscope after sectioning and hematoxylin and eosin *** levels of IL-5(interleukin-5),IL-13(interleukin-13),IL-33(interleukin-33),and ST2(growth stimulating gene 2 protein)in the WAT were assayed using enzymelinked immunosorbent assay and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).The expression levels of browning markers including PGClα(peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma coactivator 1-alpha),PPARγ(peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma),PRDM16(histone-lysine Nmethyltransferase),and UCP1(uncoupling protein 1 in WAT were detected by western blot analysis and ***:After a 7-week induction period,rats in both the HFD and HFD+EA groups were 20%heavier than their initial weights before modeling(P<0.01,P<0.001).Following a 5-week EA intervention,the body mass and Lee index of obese rats were significantly reduced(P<0.05).The HE results showed that adipocytes in the HFD group displayed a significant increase in diameter and a decrease in number compared to the control ***,in the HFD+EA group,white adipocytes exhibited reduced diameter and appeared more regular i
