BACKGROUNDObesity is a global health problem and its incidence is on the rise. Euiiyin-tang is an herbal medicinal formula that is often used in the clinical treatment of obesity. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Euiiyin-tang in obesity treatment.METHODSA randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial was conducted. Participants with obesity were randomly assigned to receive Euiiyin-tang or placebo 3 times daily for 12-weeks. The primary outcome was weight reduction between the baseline and 12 weeks. The secondary outcomes included the rate of weight loss compared to baseline, and changes in body mass index, lipid profiles, and questionnaires related to the quality of life and diet. Safety factors, such as vital signs and laboratory parameters, were also measured.RESULTSA total of 149 participants were randomly distributed to either the Euiiyin-tang group (n = 76) or the placebo group (n = 73). Weight reduction in the Euiiyin-tang group was significantly greater than that in the placebo group (2.50 kg in the Euiiyin-tang group vs. 0.82 kg in the placebo group). The participant response rates of ≥3% weight loss compared to baseline was 36.8 % in the Euiiyin-tang group and 17.8 % in the placebo group. Body mass index, waist circumference, and hip circumference showed a greater change in the Euiiyin-tang group than in the placebo group (1.00, 3.23, and 2.00 in the Euiiyin-tang group vs. 0.33, 1.96, and 0.86 in the placebo group). Questionnaires, lipid profiles, and safety factors did not show significant differences between groups.CONCLUSIONThe results of this study suggest that Euiiyin-tang has beneficial effects on weight loss.TRIAL REGISTRATIONClinicaltrials.gov NCT01724099.

BACKGROUNDObesity is a public health concern in many countries due to its increasing prevalence. Euiiyin-tang is an herbal medicine formula often used as a clinical treatment for obesity. It acts to eliminate humidity and purify the blood, the causes of obesity identified by the theoretical framework of Korean medicine. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Euiiyin-tang in treating obesity.METHODS/DESIGNThis study is a randomised, double-blinded and placebo-controlled, multicentre trial. It has two parallel arms: the Euiiyin-tang group and the placebo group. A total of 160 obese adult women will be enrolled in the trial. The participants will be randomly divided at a 1:1 ratio at visit 2 (baseline). The participants will be administered Euiiyin-tang or placebo for 12 weeks. The primary endpoint is the change in weight occurring between baseline and post-treatment. The secondary outcomes include average weight reduction, changes in body fat, waist and hip circumferences, body mass index, and lipid profile, and the results of questionnaires such as the Korean version of Obesity-related Quality of Life, the Korean version of Eating Attitudes Test, the Social Readjustment Rating Scale, and the Stress Reaction Inventory.DISCUSSIONThe present study will provide research methodologies for evaluating the efficacy and safety of Euiiyin-tang in patients with obesity. In addition, it will provide evidence of correlation between obesity and Sasang constitutional medicine.TRIAL REGISTRATIONClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01724099 . Registered on 2 November 2012.

Euiin-Tang Attenuates Obesity-Induced Asthma by Resolving Metaflammation

Article

Author: Lee, Ye-Eul ; Im, Dong-Soon

Euiin-tang reduces obesity and hypertension. Patients with obesity may develop obesity-induced asthma (OIA) owing to phlegm dampness. This study aimed to determine whether euiin-tang alleviates high-fat diet (HFD)-induced OIA in C57BL/6 mice. OIA was developed by HFD feeding for 15 weeks in C57BL/6 mice, and euiin-tang (5 mg/10 g/day) was orally administered for the last five weeks. Oral administration of euiin-tang suppressed HFD-induced changes in body weight, liver weight, airway hypersensitivity (AHR), and immune cell infiltration in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. Histological analysis revealed that euiin-tang treatment suppressed HFD-induced mucosal inflammation, hypersecretion, and fibrosis. The lungs and gonadal white adipose tissue showed increased expression of inflammatory cytokines (IL-1β, IL-17A, TNF-α, IL-6, IL-13, IFN-γ, MPO, and CCL2) following HFD, whereas euiin-tang inhibited this increase. HFD also increased the number of pro-inflammatory CD86+ M1 macrophages and decreased the number of anti-inflammatory CD206+ M2 macrophages in the lungs, whereas euiin-tang treatment reversed these effects. HFD induced a decrease in adiponectin and an increase in leptin, which was reversed by euiin-tang. Therefore, euiin-tang may be a potential therapeutic agent for OIA because it suppresses metaflammation as demonstrated in the present study.
