LDL also seems to promote fungal infections. In LDL receptor knockout mice, which have high levels of LDL, there is decreased resistance to Candida (37, 38).
Actually, that statement does not imply LDL promotes Candida growth. It is complete insensitivity to LDL which promoted the Candida growth. The high LDL is a side effects of that sensitivity, but LDL itself is probably not growth-promoting.
