Results of a six-month study at Johns Hopkins University were presented March 13 at an American Heart Association scientific meeting in San Diego:

"The more belly fat the participants lost, the better their arteries were able to expand when needed, allowing more blood to flow more freely." http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life ... 262921.cms
Insulin is obviously involved; in my opinion, this study implicates insulin with artery health.
