Increased HDL Cholesterol Levels

High evidence
Adults

Mean plasma high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were significantly (p less than 0.05) elevated at the end of the 21-day period when the animal protein diet was consumed (48 +/- 3 mg/dl) compared to the period when the plant protein diet was fed (42 +/- 2 mg/dl).

Effect: Beneficial
Effect size: Moderate
Significant: Yes
Dose: 55% of dietary protein replaced with beef protein
