Is there any link between the energy released from the annihilation of matter-antimatter during baryogenesis and cosmic inflation or expansion/dark energy?

According to the Big Bang model, the Universe was awash in particles of both matter and antimatter shortly after the Big Bang. Most of this material annihilated, but because there was slightly more matter than antimatter -- less than one part per billion -- only matter was left behind, at least in the local Universe.
