This explains to a large degree why central obesity is a marker of impaired glucose tolerance and is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (even in the absence of diabetes mellitus and hypertension).

When blood vessels constrict, the flow of blood is restricted or decreased, thus retaining body heat or increasing vascular resistance.

Cerebral circulation is the movement of blood through the network of blood vessels supplying the brain.

There are three major types of blood vessels the arteries, which carry the blood away from the heart the capillaries, which enable the actual exchange of water and chemicals between the blood and the tissues and the veins, which carry blood from the capillaries back toward the heart.
