Pentose Pathway Activation Is Superior to Increased Glycolysis for Therapeutic Angiogenesis in Peripheral Arterial Disease

Background In endothelial cells (ECs), glycolysis, regulated by PFKFB3 (6‐phosphofructo‐2‐kinase/fructose‐2,6‐biphosphatase, isoform‐3), is the major metabolic pathway for ATP generation. In preclinical peripheral artery disease models, VEGF165a (vascular endothelial growth factor165a) and microRNA‐...
