Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Are c3 and C4 strongly related to adipose tissue variables and cardiovascular risk factors?
Answer: A strong relation between C3, C4 and C3a-desArg levels, adipose tissue and risk factors of CVD was established. The data support that the adipose tissue produces complement components and generates initiators of inflammation, such as C3a and C5a, able to trigger a cyto/chemokine response, in proportion to the amount of adipose tissue. This corroborates the concept that complement contributes to the low-grade inflammation associated with obesity.
Output (English): yes
