How do saturated and unsaturated fats affect LDL cholesterol?

Saba

Homework Statement: Hi, I'm writing a research investigation on the effect of saturated & unsaturated fat's chemical structure on LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol levels for my chemistry paper. In all my research I have yet failed to understand how the CHEMICAL STRUCTURE of these fats leads to an increase in LDL cholesterol level (from a chemistry point of view). Does the chemical shape (straight chain in saturated fats or the kinks in monounsaturated fats) affect cholesterol levels? or is it pure biology?
Thank you!
