In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.

Question: Context: Liraglutide improves the metabolic control of diabetic animals after islet transplantation. However, the mechanisms underlying this effect remain unknown. The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties of liraglutide on rat pancreatic islets in vitro and in vivo.', 'In vitro, rat islets were incubated with 10molL', 'Islet viability and function were preserved and enhanced with liraglutide treatment. Liraglutide decreased CCL2 and IL-6 secretion and macrophage activation after 12h of culture, while IL-10 secretion was unchanged. However, intracellular levels of ROS were increased with liraglutide treatment at 12h. This result was correlated with an increase of anti-oxidative capacity. In vivo, liraglutide decreased macrophage infiltration and reduced fasting blood glucose in transplanted rats.\Question: Is improvement of islet graft function using liraglutide correlated with its anti-inflammatory properties?

Answer: The beneficial effects of liraglutide on pancreatic islets appear to be linked to its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties. These findings indicated that analogues of glucagon-like peptide-1 could be used to improve graft survival.

Question: Context: This study investigated whether a 7-week yoga intervention could improve physical function, perceived stress, and mental/emotional wellness in elderly participants.', '8 participants (66.50.3 years) attended 2 60-min Hatha yoga sessions/week for 7 weeks, and performed pre- and post-intervention assessments. Balance was assessed using a 5-test battery. Flexibility was measured by sit-and-reach and shoulder flexibility tests. Functional mobility tests included 8-ft up-and-go, 5 chair stands, and 4-m walk. Participants completed SF-12, exhaustion level, and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) questionnaires.', 'SF-12 Mental Component Summary scores, exhaustion levels, and PSS scores improved post-intervention. No differences were found for physical function measures.\Question: Does yoga reduce perceived stress and exhaustion levels in healthy elderly individuals?

Answer: Yoga participation can improve mental/emotional wellness, exhaustion levels, and stress levels in elderly individuals, even without measurable improvements in physical function. Clinicians and health practitioners who work with the elderly should consider yoga as a potential therapeutic modality for improving important aspects of quality of life in this population.

Question: Context: Intermittent clamping of the porta hepatis, or the intermittent Pringle manoeuvre (IPM), is often used to control inflow during parenchymal liver transection. The aim of this study was to determine whether IPM is associated with an adverse long-term outcome after liver resection for colorectal liver metastasis (CRLM).', 'All patients undergoing resection for CRLM in 1993-2006, for whom data on IPM were recorded, were included in the study. A total of 563 patients was available for analysis.', 'IPM was performed in 289 (51.3 per cent) of the patients. The duration of IPM ranged from 2 to 104 (median 22) min. There were no differences in clinicopathological features or postoperative morbidity between patients who had an IPM and those who did not. The median survival of patients undergoing IPM was 55.7 months compared with 48.9 months in those not having an IPM (P = 0.406). There was no difference in median disease-free survival between the two groups (22.1 versus 19.9 months respectively; P = 0.199).\Question: Is intermittent Pringle manoeuvre associated with adverse long-term prognosis after resection for colorectal liver metastases?

Answer:
IPM is not associated with an adverse long-term prognosis in patients undergoing liver resection for CRLM.
