References This is an open-access article distributed under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License Taken together, dietary cholesterol mainly by using the egg as a source can alter the lipid profile by increasing the markers in general. However, in assessing the actual biological impact this appears to be practically insignificant. Genetic factors can increase the cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides levels of individuals because of higher cholesterol intake, but nonetheless not quite alarming.
