Fifty adult patients suffered from sim-ple obesity were treated with“Qingshen №1”

a composite composed of Chinese herbdrugs.Preliminary results show that in for-ty eight out of fifty patients

reduction inbody weight was observed with a mean of 3.72kg

and a range from 0.5—13.0 kg.Before and after treatment

blood lipidsdetermination and oral glucose tolerance test（OGTT）were carried out in some of thepatients.It was found that after treatment

blood lipids（triglyceride and total choleste-rol）markedly decreased and abnormal OG-TT returned to normal.These findings sug-gest that the“Qingshen № 1”is efficaciousin reducing body weight and blood lipids

as well as in returning abnormal OGTT tonormal.During the course of treatment with“Qingshen № 1”no side-effects have beenfound

and it seems appropriate to recom-mend the remedy for patients with simpleobesity as well as simple obesity associatedwith arteriosclerosis

hyperlipemia or abnor-mal OGTT.
