Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Does acipimox augment thallium-201 redistribution in the fasting state?
Answer: Although acipimox has been shown to augment myocardial glucose uptake and myocardial glucose uptake has been shown to improve cellular uptake of TI-201, in the fasting state acipimox does not enhance the redistribution after stress. This may be because serum insulin levels are not increased by acipimox, and insulin is instrumental in enhancing the joint transport of glucose and TI-201 into myocytes.
Output (English): no
