This can be explained by the quality of the LDL particle. Small dense LDL is more atherogenic or more toxic to the endothelium. It is more likely to enter the vessel wall, become oxidized and trigger the atherosclerotic process. Small Dense LDL is a single type of LDL another type is large buoyant LDL. Large buoyant LDL is not as toxic to the blood vessel wall and much less prone to trigger the Atherosclerosis development.
