those people that have low level LDL and they have a higher risk of pneumonia severity from any kind of virus
people with low levels of LDL have a lot of you know advocates use and have a lot of infectious disease issues as well
so LDL has an immune role in the human body and there is a strong argument to be made that perhaps in humans as well as animals having more LDL give given that you are insulin sensitive might actually be protective from things like infections
there are clear associations with lower levels of LDL and increased susceptibility to infectious disease.
