Abstract
Kalucka et al. show that fatty acid β-oxidation in quiescent endothelial cells (QECs) is indispensable to maintain redox balance and prevent EC dysfunction. In contrast to proliferating ECs (PECs), QECs reprogram their metabolism to increase regeneration of NAPDH, which is then used by vasculoprotective (NADPH-consuming) enzymes for redox homeostasis.
