The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of electrolipolysis on lipid profile in obese female subjectsSubjects : Forty obese female subjects with age ranged from 18 to 35years old were participated in this studyThey were assigned randomly into two equal groups ; the study group (B) which consisted of twenty obese female subjects with mean age of (2555 5414) years , mean height of (16015 7414) cm , mean weight of (8795 9688) Kg , mean of body mass index BMI (3435 3303) Kg / m²They received electrolipolysis , diet restriction regimen and aerobic exercisesThe control group (A) composed of twenty obese female subjects with mean age of (2465 7292) years , mean height of (1622 8965) cm , mean weight of (938 13609) Kg , mean of BMI of (3564 3396) Kg / m²This group was treated with diet restriction regimen and aerobic exercises onlyMethods : Assessment was done before and after one month of treatment in both groupsIt includes body mass index (BMI) , waist hip ratio (WHR) and lipid profileResults : The results of this study revealed significant difference between the two groups in BMI , WHR , and Lipid profile measurementsAs there were a significance decrease in BMI , WHR , Triglycerides , total cholesterol and LDLc with significant increase in HDLc in the study group (B) more than that in the control group (A) conclusion : The findings of the current study revealed that electrolipolysis is an effective method in reducing weight and anthropoemetric measurements and improving the metabolic parameters
