Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Are increased resistin blood levels associated with insulin resistance in patients with renal disease?
Answer: Resistin blood concentrations increase with progressive impairment of renal function. Thus, the kidney seems to be an important site of resistin elimination. However, the greater than 5-fold increase in resistin blood levels apparently is not associated with deterioration in insulin sensitivity in patients with renal disease.
Output (English): no
