Hello, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) transports cholesterol from the liver to tissues throughout the body. Low LDL levels may result from excessive physical activity in daily life. Additionally, insufficient dietary fat intake and an unbalanced diet can also lead to reduced LDL levels. Furthermore, abnormal liver metabolism is another potential cause of low LDL. We hope this information is helpful to you. Wishing you a happy and healthy life!
