fatty liver disease is characterized by low antioxidants, disturbed lipid metabolism, cardioautonomic functions, and elevated blood measures (glucose, inflammatory markers, liver enzymes)
In fatty liver patients,applied cupping (with scarification) will be compared, regarding its effect on antioxidant, lipid metabolism, cardioautonomic functions, and blood measures (glucose, inflammatory markers, liver enzymes), to application of laser on acupoints

In fatty liver diseased patients which their number will be 30 patients, a 3-session/week application of 2-minute laser (for 3 months) on acupoint number 25,40,36 of stomach meridian, acupoints number 3 and 14 of liver meridian, acupoint number 6 of spleen meridian,acupoint number 9.12,4 of conception vessel meridian, acupoint number 14 of governor vessel meridian, acupoint number 4, 11 of large intestine meridian, acupoint number 34 of gall bladder meridian
in this fatty liver diseased patients which their number will be 30, cupping (with scarification) or wet cupping will be applied at the first day and the day number 14 in the month for three successive months. cupping (with scarification) or wet cupping will be applied on urinary bladder acupoint 17 (on the both sides) and governosal vessels acupoints 12,13,and 14.
