Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is vascular function impaired early in the course of bipolar disorder?
Answer: The lack of clinically significant differences in vascular function in this young sample suggests any increased risk either occurs later in the course of illness or is largely due to behavioral risk factors, such as smoking, which was balanced between groups. Substantial insulin resistance is identifiable early in course of illness, perhaps secondary to treatment.
Output (English): no
