The inflammatory state of adipose tissue is not affected by the anti-inflammatory response of the A2a-adenosine system and miR-221/PTEN.

In conclusion, the A2a-adenosine system is decreased in MCAT, but it maintains its function; moreover, miR-221 could participate in promoting inflammation in adipose tissue.
