Beneficial Modifications in LDL and HDL size and subfractions due to dietary cholesterol.

Lipoprotein	Dietary Cholesterol Intake and Population	Changes	Reference (Year)
LDL Diameter Compared to added 0 mg/d cholesterol	510 mg/day for 4 weeks in children	LDL diameter was larger	[10] (2005)
Large LDL compared to 0 added mg/cholesterol	640 mg/day for 4 weeks in elderly people	Higher concentrations of large LDL	[53] (2006)
Large LDL compared to 0 mg of added dietary cholesterol	210, 425, and 640 mg/day in young individuals for 4 weeks each	Higher concentrations of large LDL	[51] (2017)
Large LDL Compared to an oatmeal breakfast	640 mg/day for 4 weeks in young population	Higher concentrations of large LDL	[52] (2018)
Large LDL: Compared to 0 mg of added dietary cholesterol	640 mg/day for 4 weeks in an overweight/obese population	Higher concentrations of large LDL	[54] (2010)
Small LDL: Compared to 0 mg of added dietary cholesterol	210, 425, and 640 mg/day in young individuals for 4 weeks each	Lower concentrations of small LDL	[51] (2017)
