ResultsWe reviewed 8 searched articles, 7 articles were conducted in China and only 1 article was published in Korea. most of Chinese articles used acupuncture as a control group and revealed the equality or superiority of catgut embedding in body weight loss. the only Korean article, which was uncontrolled, implanted catgut in localized fat area, it had changes partially in fat thick, body size.
