Peripheral2

- The sympathetic nervous system (or SNS) is a network of nerves that allows our brain to control blood pressure by adjusting the diameter of peripheral arteries through electrical impulses. (withings.com)
Bloodstream2
- If you have insulin resistance, too much glucose can build up in your bloodstream. (nidirect.gov.uk)
