Given a passage, construct a question on the basis of the information present in the passage. Construct the question in such a way that (i) it is unambiguous, (ii) it is answerable from the passage, (iii) its answer is unique (iv) it answer uses text phrases from the passage. Avoid creating questions that (i) can't be answered correctly without actually understanding the passage and (ii) uses the same words or phrases given in the passage.

Example Input: It has been shown that the circulating Renin-Angiotensin System (RAS) is activated during normal pregnancy, but little is known about RAS in pregnancies complicated by gestational diabetes (GDM). GDM is considered not merely a temporary condition, but a harbinger of hypertension and type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the circulating RAS profile in normotensive women with GDM at the third trimester of pregnancy and to compare the results with healthy pregnant and non-pregnant age-matched women.', 'The diagnostic criteria for GDM followed the recommendations of the American Diabetes Association. Angiotensin I (Ang I), Angiotensin II (Ang II) and Angiotensin 1-7 [Ang-(1-7)] were determined in 24 pregnant patients with GDM; 12 healthy pregnant women and 12 non-pregnant women by radioimmunoassay.', 'Levels of Ang I, Ang II and Ang-(1-7) were higher in pregnant women (p<0.05), but showed a different pattern in the GDM group, in which reduced Ang-(1-7) circulating levels were found (p<0.05). This observation was confirmed by the significantly lower Ang-(1-7)/Ang I ratio (p<0.05).
Example Output: Does the pregnancy-induced increase of plasma angiotensin- ( 1-7 ) is blunt in gestational diabetes?

Example Input: Reflex sympathetic dystrophy (RSD) is, from the onset, characterized by various neurological deficits such as an alteration of sensation and a decrease in muscle strength. We investigated if afferent A-beta fibre-mediated reflexes are changed in lower extremities affected by acute RSD.', 'The involvement of these fibres was determined by analyzing reflex responses from the tibialis anterior (TA) and biceps femoris (BF) muscles after electrical stimulation of the sural nerve. The reflexes were studied during walking on a treadmill to investigate whether the abnormalities in gait of the patients were related either to abnormal amplitudes or deficient phase-dependent modulation of reflexes. In 5 patients with acute RSD of the leg and 5 healthy volunteers these reflex responses were determined during the early and late swing phase of the step cycle.', 'No significant difference was found between the RSD and the volunteers. During early swing the mean amplitude of the facilitatory P2 responses in BF and TA increased as a function of stimulus intensity (1.5, 2 and 2.5 times the perception threshold) in both groups. At end swing the same stimuli induced suppressive responses in TA. This phase-dependent reflex reversal from facilitation in early swing to suppression in late swing occurred equally in both groups.
Example Output: Are leg muscle reflexes mediated by cutaneous A-beta fibres normal during gait in reflex sympathetic dystrophy?

Example Input: Adenylyl cyclase is a transmembrane signaling system involved in the inhibition of cellular responses. Recently, we showed that the activity of adenylyl cyclase may be potentiated by stimuli that induce an increase of cellular responses but that do not activate adenylyl cyclase. This is probably an important physiologic feedback mechanism that prevents cells from becoming "overstimulated."', 'Because increased cellular activities are frequently observed in persons with asthma, we hypothesized that a defect in potentiation of adenylyl cyclase might be involved.', 'Potentiation of isoprenaline-induced adenosine cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) production with the mitogen phytohemagglutin (PHA; 45 micrograms/ml) or the calcium ionophore A23187 (1 mumol/L) was studied in peripheral blood mononuclear cells taken from patients with asthma (n = 8) and healthy control subjects (n = 11).', 'Isoprenaline-induced cAMP production was potentiated significantly in the healthy control subjects (PHA, 110% +/- 15%; A23187, 92% +/- 25%). In contrast, potentiation was not seen with PHA or A23187 in the total group of patients with asthma. However, some patients showed weak potentiation, whereas in others PHA decreased isoprenaline-induced cAMP production. Moreover, the effect of PHA on isoprenaline-induced cAMP production correlated significantly with the degree of bronchial hyperreactivity in patients with asthma (r = 0.96; p = 0.0001).
Example Output:
Does defect in potentiation of adenylyl cyclase correlate with bronchial hyperreactivity?
